Effective February 1, 2024, Airtable no longer supports connecting via API key. You must connect your Thunkable project to Airtable via OAuth and use Data Source blocks.
Airtable is a service that looks like a spreadsheet but actually acts like a database so it can do database-like things like store attachments i.e. images in your spreadsheets (and not just text) and link records between spreadsheets.
We like Airtable because set-up is relatively a breeze for a spreadsheet
There are four properties that you need to retrieve from Airtable to connect it with Thunkable: API key, Base ID, Table Name and View Name
To retrieve the API key, you'll have to navigate to the Account page and generate an API Key
To retrieve the Base ID, navigate to the Airtable API documentation page and select your spreadsheet. You will see the Base ID in the 'Introduction' section of this page.
The Table Name and View Name can be retrieved by grabbing the fields from your spreadsheet as shown below. Your default Table Name should be "Table 1". Your default View Name should be "Grid View".
