I’ve had the pleasure of working on a few AirTable projects recently.
One thing I’ve learned is doing stuff like this is inefficient once you start to get a lot of data.
You should try to limit how much data you call and the number of API calls. To update a record, you shouldn’t get all rows, loop through all rows until you find the row you need to update, then update that row.
With the AirTable API you can use things like filterByFormula
to query the data in one call to reduce the data you are retrieving.
So in this video I demo the concepts of how to use the AirTable API. I will also share the set up and screen shots of the blocks.
NOTE: This is an advanced approach.
