Connecting AirTable and LiveCode

[AlexM_Cogapp]

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: https://lessons.livecode.com/m/4071/l/1 ... a-rest-api

To get it working, you'll want to use the AirTable API for reading and writing data. Just use the tsNet library in LiveCode to handle HTTP requests, which will communicate with AirTable using JSON.
