Sources

• glitch-hello-airtable: https://glitch.com/~glitch-hello-airtable

How to run

1. Create a personal access tokens at https://airtable.com/create/tokens
   • Token should contain the scopes data.records:read, data.recordComments:read, and schema.bases:read
   • Base should be the rescue-trans-rescue
2. Create a .env file based on .env-blank and fill it out
   • On Glitch, this will be a form. Create two fields: AIRTABLE_API_KEY and AIRTABLE_BASE_ID
   • For a self hosted instance, copy .env-blank to .env
   • The personal token generated in step 1 is your AIRTABLE_API_KEY
   • Your AIRTABLE_BASE_ID is located in the URL to your Airtable base: https://airtable.com/{baseid}/
   • You can also locate your Base ID by going to Help (upper right hand corner) and clicking on "API Documentation"
