Airtable API is limited to 5 API requests per second for each base table. So, we solved this problem for you with NoCodeAPI. You don't have to set up a server for making proxy & caching logic.
What is NoCodeAPI
NoCodeAPI is a tool to connect with third party application API and give simple secure endpoint to use with your tools & projects.
You can connect with Google Sheet API, Airtable, Instagram, GitHub, YouTube, WordPress, Webflow, Spotify, Twitter, & more. You can view them all in The Marketplace
Get Started
First of all, you have to signup on NoCodeAPI if you are a new user. If you are an existing user of NoCodeAPI then setup Airtable API with NoCodeAPI.
To setup Airtable API we need 2 values:
- API key- You can get your Airtable API key from here https://airtable.com/account
- Base ID- Go here https://airtable.com/api and select your form then you can find the base ID in URL & It begins with the app. Ex: https://airtable.com/appofMoPxdu7iQ7hf/api/docs-> appofMoPxdu7iQ7hf is the base ID.
Now login to NoCodeAPI, go-to the marketplace, & activate the Airtable application. Click on the button Make Airtable API & put the required values into the form.
When you fill all the values click on the button Create. That's all, your Airtable endpoint ready to use.
In-built playground to test these endpoints & minimal documentation.
Benefits
- Your API Key is secured
- Bypass limit - We are using caching technology for this.
- Time-Saving
- API response is Fast.
- You can track all your logs
- No Server Headache
- Mini Documentation
Customize Caching
By default, every GET request has 60 seconds of caching means the first API call will come from a third party application API and other API calls under the next 60 seconds from the caching server.
You can customize the caching time if you are a paid user. Just pass cacheTime(in seconds) as query param with endpoint like this.
https://v1.nocodeapi.com/gitdansih/airtable/ePcgqeUWUNWgmPmN?cacheTime=900
Now your endpoint will be cached for 900 seconds(15 minutes).
That's all guys. You can follow us on twitter for updates Follow on Twitter
