Airtable — Bases, Tables & Records

Work with Airtable's REST API directly via curl using the terminal tool. No MCP server, no OAuth flow, no Python SDK — just curl and a personal access token.

Prerequisites

Create a Personal Access Token (PAT) at https://airtable.com/create/tokens (tokens start with pat...).
Grant these scopes (minimum):
- data.records:read — read rows
- data.records:write — create / update / delete rows
- schema.bases:read — list bases and tables
Important: in the same token UI, add each base you want to access to the token's Access list. PATs are scoped per-base — a valid token on the wrong base returns 403.
Store the token in ${HERMES_HOME:-~/.hermes}/.env (or via hermes setup):
```
AIRTABLE_API_KEY=pat_your_token_here
```

Note: legacy key... API keys were deprecated Feb 2024. Only PATs and OAuth tokens work now.

API Basics

Endpoint: https://api.airtable.com/v0
Auth header: Authorization: Bearer $AIRTABLE_API_KEY
All requests use JSON (Content-Type: application/json for any POST/PATCH/PUT body).
Object IDs: bases app..., tables tbl..., records rec..., fields fld.... IDs never change; names can. Prefer IDs in automations.
Rate limit: 5 requests/sec/base. 429 → back off. Burst on a single base will be throttled.

Base curl pattern:

curl -s "https://api.airtable.com/v0/$BASE_ID/$TABLE?maxRecords=5" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AIRTABLE_API_KEY" | python -m json.tool

-s suppresses curl's progress bar — keep it set for every call so the tool output stays clean for Hermes. Pipe through python -m json.tool (always present) or jq (if installed) for readable JSON.
