Airtable

Connect to Airtable. Manage databases, tables, records, and collaborate on structured data

Supports authentication: OAuth 2.0

Set up the agent connector

Register your Scalekit environment with the Airtable connector so Scalekit handles the authentication flow and token lifecycle for you. The connection name you create will be used to identify and invoke the connection programmatically. Then complete the configuration in your application as follows:

1. Set up auth redirects

   • In Scalekit dashboard, go to Agent Auth → Create Connection. Find Airtable and click Create. Copy the redirect URI. It looks like https://<SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL>/sso/v1/oauth/<CONNECTION_ID>/callback.

     

   • In the Airtable Developer Hub, open your app and navigate to the OAuth section.

   • Under Redirect URIs, click Add a redirect URI and paste the copied URI.

     

2. Get client credentials

   On your Airtable app page in the Airtable Developer Hub:

   • Client ID — found under Client ID on your app page
   • Client Secret — found under Client Secret on your app page

3. Add credentials in Scalekit

   • In Scalekit dashboard, go to Agent Auth → Connections and open the connection you created.

   • Enter your credentials:

     • Client ID (from your Airtable app page)
     • Client Secret (from your Airtable app page)
     • Permissions (scopes — see Airtable OAuth scopes reference)

     

   • Click Save.

Usage

Connect a user’s Airtable account and make API calls on their behalf — Scalekit handles OAuth and token management automatically.

You can interact with Airtable in two ways — via direct proxy API calls or via Scalekit optimized tool calls. Scroll down to see the list of available Scalekit tools.

Proxy API Calls

Node.js

import { ScalekitClient } from '@scalekit-sdk/node';
import 'dotenv/config';

const connectionName = 'airtable'; // get your connection name from connection configurations
const identifier = 'user_123';  // your unique user identifier

// Get your credentials from app.scalekit.com → Developers → Settings → API Credentials
const scalekit = new ScalekitClient(
  process.env.SCALEKIT_ENV_URL,
  process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID,
  process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET
);
const actions = scalekit.actions;

// Authenticate the user
const { link } = await actions.getAuthorizationLink({
  connectionName,
  identifier,
});
console.log('🔗 Authorize Airtable:', link);
process.stdout.write('Press Enter after authorizing...');
await new Promise(r => process.stdin.once('data', r));

// Make a request via Scalekit proxy
const result = await actions.request({
  connectionName,
  identifier,
  path: '/v0/meta/whoami',
  method: 'GET',
});
console.log(result);

Python

import scalekit.client, os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()

connection_name = "airtable"  # get your connection name from connection configurations
identifier = "user_123"     # your unique user identifier

# Get your credentials from app.scalekit.com → Developers → Settings → API Credentials
scalekit_client = scalekit.client.ScalekitClient(
    client_id=os.getenv("SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID"),
    client_secret=os.getenv("SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET"),
    env_url=os.getenv("SCALEKIT_ENV_URL"),
)
actions = scalekit_client.actions

# Authenticate the user
link_response = actions.get_authorization_link(
    connection_name=connection_name,
    identifier=identifier
)
# present this link to your user for authorization, or click it yourself for testing
print("🔗 Authorize Airtable:", link_response.link)
input("Press Enter after authorizing...")

# Make a request via Scalekit proxy
result = actions.request(
    connection_name=connection_name,
    identifier=identifier,
    path="/v0/meta/whoami",
    method="GET"
)
print(result)
