Based on the he official Airtable JavaScript library.

The Airtable API provides a simple way of accessing your data. Whether it's contacts, sales leads, inventory, applicant information or todo items, the vocabulary of the interactions closely matches your data structure. You will use your table names to address tables, column names to access data stored in those columns. In other words, the Airtable API is your own RESTful API for your base.

To install Airtable.js in a node project:

npm install @lsagetlethias/node-airtable
yarn add @lsagetlethias/node-airtable

Airtable.js is compatible with Node 18 and above.

There are three configurable options available:

• apiKey - your secret API token. Visit /create/tokens to create a personal access token. OAuth access tokens can also be used.
• endpointUrl - the API endpoint to hit. You might want to override it if you are using an API proxy (e.g. runscope.net) to debug your API calls. (AIRTABLE_ENDPOINT_URL).
• requestTimeout - the timeout in milliseconds for requests. The default is 5 minutes (300000).

You can set the options globally via Airtable.configure:

Airtable.configure({ apiKey: 'YOUR_SECRET_API_TOKEN' })

Globally via process env (e.g. in 12factor setup):

export AIRTABLE_API_KEY=YOUR_SECRET_API_TOKEN

You can also override the settings per connection:

const airtable = new Airtable({endpointUrl: 'https://api-airtable-com-8hw7i1oz63iz.runscope.net/'})

Go to https://airtable.com/api to see the interactive API documentation for your Airtable bases. Once you select a base, click the "JavaScript" tab to see code snippets using Airtable.js. It'll have examples for all operations you can perform against your base using this library.

You can also view non-interactive API documentation at https://airtable.com/developers/web/api.

As of original lib's v0.5.0 all of the methods that would take a done callback would return a Promise if you don't pass in a done callback.

Now all methods are Promise-based only.

For example:

// not supported anymore
table.select().firstPage(result => { ... })

is equivalent to

table.select().firstPage().then(result => { ... })
