Installation

The Golang Airtable API has been tested compatible with Go 1.13 on up.

go get github.com/mehanizm/airtable

Basic usage

Initialize client

You should get your_api_token in the airtable account page

client := airtable.NewClient("your_api_token")

You can use custom http client here

client.SetCustomClient(http.DefaultClient)

Custom context

Each method below can be used with custom context. Simply use MethodNameContext call and provide context as first argument.

List bases

bases, err := client.GetBases().WithOffset("").Do()

Get base schema

schema, err := client.GetBaseSchema("your_database_ID").Do()

Get table

To get the your_database_ID you should go to main API page and select the database.

table := client.GetTable("your_database_ID", "your_table_name")

List records

To get records from the table you can use something like this

records, err := table.GetRecords().
	FromView("view_1").
	WithFilterFormula("AND({Field1}='value_1',NOT({Field2}='value_2'))").
	WithSort(sortQuery1, sortQuery2).
	ReturnFields("Field1", "Field2").
	InStringFormat("Europe/Moscow", "ru").
	Do()
if err != nil {
	// Handle error
}

Add records

recordsToSend := &airtable.Records{
    Records: []*airtable.Record{
        {
            Fields: map[string]any{
                "Field1": "value1",
                "Field2": true,
            },
        },
    },
}
receivedRecords, err := table.AddRecords(recordsToSend)
if err != nil {
	// Handle error
}

Get record by ID

record, err := table.GetRecord("recordID")
if err != nil {
	// Handle error
}

Update records

To partial update one record

res, err := record.UpdateRecordPartial(map[string]any{"Field_2": false})
if err != nil {
	// Handle error
}

To full update records

toUpdateRecords := &airtable.Records{
    Records: []*airtable.Record{
        {
            Fields: map[string]any{
                "Field1": "value1",
                "Field2": true,
            },
        },
        {
            Fields: map[string]any{
                "Field1": "value1",
                "Field2": true,
            },
        },
    },
}
updatedRecords, err := table.UpdateRecords(toUpdateRecords)
if err != nil {
	// Handle error
}

Delete record

res, err := record.DeleteRecord()
if err != nil {
	// Handle error
}

Bulk delete records

To delete up to 10 records

records, err := table.DeleteRecords([]string{"recordID1", "recordsID2"})
if err != nil {
	// Handle error
}
