Once you have granted access to OAuth in Airtable (image 1), will the existing airtable bases (API Keys, image 2) still work on February 2024? Is an update required?

So, I was reading the airtable documentation and it seems that the variable name for the Personal Access token is still called “api key”, so I tested the airtable component on thunkable and put the Personal access token on the “APIKey” text inpunt … and it worked… so, for existing apps just change the variable on the APIKey with the PAT (Personal Access Token).

It seems an update is needed if you want to use PAT´s
