A simple approach to interacting with Airtables.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require tapp/laravel-airtable

Publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Tapp\Airtable\AirtableServiceProvider"

Define airtables account information in .env:

AIRTABLE_KEY=
AIRTABLE_BASE=
AIRTABLE_TABLE=
AIRTABLE_TYPECAST=false 
  • AIRTABLE_KEY Airtable is requiring personal access tokens for Authorization starting in 2024. A token can be created here: https://airtable.com/create/tokens. If you are upgrading from an API key to access token, simply replace the value previously held in this environment variable with your new token.
  • AIRTABLE_BASE can be found here: https://airtable.com/api, select base then copy from URL: https://airtable.com/[Base Is Here]/api/docs#curl/introduction
  • AIRTABLE_TABLE can be found in the docs for the appropriate base, this is not case senstive. IE: tasks
  • AIRTABLE_TYPECAST set this to true to allow automatic casting.

Example Config

If you need to support multiple tables, add them to the tables config in the config/airtable.php If your table is on a different base than the one set in the env, add that as well.

...
    'tables' => [

        'default' => [
            'name' => env('AIRTABLE_TABLE', 'Main'),
            'base' => 'base_id',
        ],

        'companies' => [
            'name' => env('AIRTABLE_COMPANY_TABLE', 'Companies'),
            'base' => 'base_id',
        ],
        ...
    ],
...

Usage

Import the facade in your class.

use Airtable;

Get records from that table

  • This will only return the first 100 records due to Airtable page size limiation
Airtable::table('tasks')->get();

Get all records from that table.

  • This will get all records by sending multiple requests until all record are fetched.
  • Optional Parameter which is the delay between requests in microseconds as API is limited to 5 requests per second per base, defaults to 0.2 second.
Airtable::table('tasks')->all();
Airtable::table('tasks')->all(500000); // 0.5 seconds

Get one record from the default table.

Airtable::find('id_string');

Filter records

  • First argument is the column name
  • Second argument is the operator or the value if you want to use equal '=' as an operator.
  • Third argument is the value of the filter
Airtable::where('id', '5')->get();
Airtable::where('id', '>', '5')->get();

Filter records by formula

  • When using where is not enough you may need to pass in raw filter values.
  • Airtable reference
Airtable::table('tasks')->filterByFormula('OR({id} = "abc", {id} = "def", {id} = "ghi")')->get();

Sorting records

  • First argument is the column name
  • Second argument is the sort direction: asc (default) or desc
Airtable::orderBy('id')->get();
Airtable::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->get();

You can sort by multiple fields by calling orderBy more than once (a single call with array syntax is not supported):

Airtable::orderBy('id')->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->get();

Set other API Parameters

Airtable::addParam('returnFieldsByFieldId', true); // one param at a time
Airtable::params(['returnFieldsByFieldId' => true, 'view' => 'My View']) // multiple params at once

Create

  • Insert a record
Airtable::create(['name' => 'myName']);

First or Create

  • First argument will be used for finding existing
  • Second argument is additional data to save if no results are found and we are creating (will not be saved used if item already exists)
Airtable::firstOrCreate(['name' => 'myName'], ['field' => 'myField']);

Update or Create

  • First argument will be used to find existing
  • Second argument is additional data to save when we create or update
Airtable::updateOrCreate(['name' => 'myName'], ['field' => 'myField']);

Airtable::table('companies')->firstOrCreate(['Company Name' => $team->name]);

Update

  • First argument will be the id
  • Second argument is the whole record including the updated fields

Note: Update is destructive and clear all unspecified cell values if you did not provide a value for them. use PATCH up update specified fields

Airtable::table('companies')->update('rec5N7fr8GhDtdNxx', [ 'name' => 'Google', 'country' => 'US']);

Patch

  • First argument will be the id
  • Second argument is the field you would like to update
Airtable::table('companies')->patch('rec5N7fr8GhDtdNxx', ['country' => 'US']);

Mass Update or Patch

  • Array of data to be updated or patched
Airtable::table('companies')->patch([
    [
        'id' => 'rec5N7fr8GhDtdNxx',
        'fields' => ['country' => 'US']
    ],
    [
        'id' => 'rec8BhDt4fs2',
        'fields' => ['country' => 'UK']
    ],
    ...
]);
