--- name: airtable description: | Airtable API integration with managed OAuth. Manage bases, tables, and records. Use this skill when users want to read, create, update, or delete Airtable records, or query data with filter formulas. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). compatibility: Requires network access and valid Maton API key metadata: author: maton version: "1.0" clawdbot: emoji: 🧠 homepage: "https://maton.ai" requires: env: - MATON_API_KEY --- # Airtable Access the Airtable API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage bases, tables, and records with full CRUD operations. ## Quick Start ```bash # List records from a table python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/airtable/v0/{baseId}/{tableIdOrName}?maxRecords=100') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ## Base URL ``` https://api.maton.ai/airtable/{native-api-path} ``` Maton proxies requests to `api.airtable.com` and automatically injects your OAuth token. ## Authentication All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header: ``` Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY ``` **Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`: ```bash export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY" ``` ### Getting Your API Key 1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai) 2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings) 3. Copy your API key ## Connection Management Manage your Airtable OAuth connections at `https://api.maton.ai`. ### List Connections ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections?app=airtable&status=ACTIVE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Create Connection ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({'app': 'airtable'}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Get Connection ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` **Response:** ```json { "connection": { "connection_id": "{connection_id}", "status": "ACTIVE", "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z", "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z", "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...", "app": "airtable", "metadata": {} } } ``` Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization. ### Delete Connection ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Specifying Connection If you have multiple Airtable connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header: ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/airtable/v0/appXXXXX/TableName') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '{connection_id}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` If you have multiple connections, always include this header to ensure requests go to the intended account. ## Security & Permissions - Access is scoped to bases, tables, and records within the connected Airtable account. - **All write operations require explicit user approval.** Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user. ## API Reference ### List Bases ```bash GET /airtable/v0/meta/bases ``` ### Get Base Schema ```bash GET /airtable/v0/meta/bases/{baseId}/tables ``` ### List Records ```bash GET /airtable/v0/{baseId}/{tableIdOrName}?maxRecords=100 ``` With view: ```bash GET /airtable/v0/{baseId}/{tableIdOrName}?view=Grid%20view&maxRecords=100 ``` With filter formula: ```bash GET /airtable/v0/{baseId}/{tableIdOrName}?filterByFormula={Status}='Active' ``` With field selection: ```bash GET /airtable/v0/{baseId}/{tableIdOrName}?fields[]=Name&fields[]=Status&fields[]=Email ``` With sorting: ```bash GET /airtable/v0/{baseId}/{tableIdOrName}?sort[0][field]=Created&sort[0][direction]=desc ``` ### Get Record ```bash GET /airtable/v0/{baseId}/{tableIdOrName}/{recordId} ``` ### Create Records ```bash POST /airtable/v0/{baseId}/{tableIdOrName} Content-Type: application/json { "records": [ { "fields": { "Name": "New Record", "Status": "Active", "Email": "[REDACTED_SECRET]" } } ] } ``` ### Update Records (PATCH - partial update) ```bash PATCH /airtable/v0/{baseId}/{tableIdOrName} Content-Type: application/json { "records": [ { "id": "recXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", "fields": { "Status": "Completed" } } ] } ``` ### Update Records (PUT - full replace) ```bash PUT /airtable/v0/{baseId}/{tableIdOrName} Content-Type: application/json { "records": [ { "id": "recXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", "fields": { "Name": "Updated Name", "Status": "Active" } } ] } ``` ### Delete Records ```bash DELETE /airtable/v0/{baseId}/{tableIdOrName}?records[]=recXXXXX&records[]=recYYYYY ``` ## Pagination Use `pageSize` and `offset` for pagination: ```bash GET /airtable/v0/{baseId}/{tableIdOrName}?pageSize=50&offset=itrXXXXXXXXXXX ``` Response includes `offset` when more records exist: ```json { "records": [...], "offset": "itrXXXXXXXXXXX" } ``` ## Code Examples ### JavaScript ```javascript const response = await fetch( 'https://api.maton.ai/airtable/v0/appXXXXX/TableName?maxRecords=10', { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}` } } ); ``` ### Python ```python import os import requests response = requests.get( 'https://api.maton.ai/airtable/v0/appXXXXX/TableName', headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}, params={'maxRecords': 10} ) ``` ## Notes - Base IDs start with `app` - Table IDs start with `tbl` (can also use table name) - Record IDs start with `rec` - Maximum 100 records per request for create/update - Maximum 10 records per delete request - Filter formulas use Airtable formula syntax - IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use `curl -g` when URLs contain brackets (`fields[]`, `sort[]`, `records[]`) to disable glob parsing - IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to `jq` or other commands, environment variables like `$MATON_API_KEY` may not expand correctly in some shell environments. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping. ## Error Handling | Status | Meaning | |--------|---------| | 400 | Missing Airtable connection | | 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key | | 429 | Rate limited (10 req/sec per account) | | 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Airtable API | ### Troubleshooting: API Key Issues 1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set: ```bash echo $MATON_API_KEY ``` 2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections: ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name 1. Ensure your URL path starts with `airtable`. For example: - Correct: `https://api.maton.ai/airtable/v0/{baseId}/{tableIdOrName}` - Incorrect: `https://api.maton.ai/v0/{baseId}/{tableIdOrName}` ## Resources - [Airtable API Overview](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/introduction) - [List Records](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/list-records) - [Create Records](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/create-records) - [Update Records](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/update-record) - [Delete Records](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/delete-record) - [Formula Reference](https://support.airtable.com/docs/formula-field-reference) - [Maton Community](https://discord.com/invite/dBfFAcefs2) - [Maton Support](mailto:[REDACTED_SECRET])
