Connecting AirTable and LiveCode

I'm a long-term LiveCode (and HyperCard) programmer. Recently I have been experiencing the joys of AirTable - it really is very good.
Now I would like to connect the two so I can read and write AirTable data via LiveCode. I'm probably not the only person who would find this useful.
Is it possible? If so, how?
A sample stack would be very handy.

Details of where to find out about AirTable would be handy.

I've managed to find a way to read data.
Using my Personal Access Token - you put it in the httpHeaders and it all works.
So far so good.
What I want to do now is to find a way to update and add data to AirTable.
Using 'put' and 'push' doesn't seem to work.

Google 'AirTable API'

In addition to the AirTable API reference (already mentioned) at
https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/introduction
I believe there are some lessons or tutorials on using LiveCode to access REST API available somewhere at Livecode.com, such as this one:
