Hello, I’m a newbie to Python. When the API transmits data to Airtable, the preceding code is meant to update the data in Airtable.
Question:
How can it only UPDATE if a name already exists?
If there is no existing name, how can it ADD ONLY?
This is the code I use to see if any are already in use:
for r in records:
for currency in cryptodata:
if (r[‘fields’][‘name’] == currency[‘name’])
