Airtable (airtable.com). Use this skill for ANY Airtable request — reading, creating, updating, and deleting data. Whenever a task involves Airtable, use this skill instead of calling the API directly.
数据分析
airtable
试用通过托管 OAuth 代理网关对接 Airtable,对 Base、表和记录执行增删改查。
它能做什么
提供对 Airtable REST API 的 HTTP 访问能力,由托管 OAuth 代理负责鉴权注入。只需配置一个 Bearer API Key,即可列出 Base、获取表结构、对记录执行创建、读取、更新和删除操作。支持视图筛选、filterByFormula、字段选择、排序以及基于 offset 的分页查询。同时附带 OAuth 连接的列表查询、创建、获取和删除接口,以及在多账号场景下用于指定路由的请求头。文档提供了 Python 与 JavaScript 两种语言的代码示例。
什么时候用它
- 使用 filterByFormula 查询 Airtable 表中的记录
- 通过 REST API 批量创建或更新记录
- 管理多个 Airtable 账号的 OAuth 连接
- 接入下游系统前先查看 Base 的表结构
技能文档
Airtable
Access the Airtable API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage bases, tables, and records with full CRUD operations.
Quick Start
# 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:
export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
Getting Your API Key
- Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
- Go to maton.ai/settings
- Copy your API key
Connection Management
Manage your Airtable OAuth connections at https://api.maton.ai.
List Connections
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
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
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:
{
"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
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:
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.

Code Examples
JavaScript
const response = await fetch(
'https://api.maton.ai/airtable/v0/appXXXXX/TableName?maxRecords=10',
{
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
}
}
);
Python
import os
import requests
response = requests.get(
'https://api.maton.ai/airtable/v0/appXXXXX/TableName',
headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
params={'maxRecords': 10}
)
Notes
- Base IDs start with
app - Table IDs start with
tbl(can also use table name) - Record IDs start with
rec - Maximum 100 records per request for create/update
- Maximum 10 records per delete request
- Filter formulas use Airtable formula syntax
- IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use
curl -gwhen URLs contain brackets (fields[],sort[],records[]) to disable glob parsing - IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to
jqor other commands, environment variables like$MATON_API_KEYmay 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
- Check that the
MATON_API_KEYenvironment variable is set:
echo $MATON_API_KEY
- Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:
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
- 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
常见问题
- 认证机制是怎样的?
- 所有请求以 Bearer 形式携带 API Key(保存在 MATON_API_KEY 环境变量中)发送给网关,网关自动注入 OAuth Token 再转发到 api.airtable.com,客户端无需自行处理 Token。
- 多个 Airtable 账号如何区分?
- 先调用 /connections 接口查看已有的 OAuth 连接,再在请求中通过 Maton-Connection 请求头传入目标 connection_id,确保请求路由到指定账号。
- 写入操作有哪些限制?
- 创建和更新单次最多 100 条记录,删除单次最多 10 条。文档明确建议在任何写入调用执行前,先与用户确认目标资源和预期效果。
