How to set up Personal Access Token for integrating the legacy website to Airtable?

The API key was decommissioned by Airtable on February 2024. What should I use?

Updated over a week ago

The legacy extensions that are still using the Airtable API Key are not functional anymore (please refer to this page on Airtable on when it was deprecated) but we already made an update to support the new Personal Access Token system.

We highly encourage you to use our new website. But in case it is not possible, you'll need to switch your API Key to a Personal Access Token. Please follow the instructions on this video:

First, you will need to create the token in Airtable.

  1. Go to the Personal Access Token section in the Developer Hub of Airtable.

  2. Add the following scopes

  3. Select all the bases that you need. If a base is not selected but an extension uses it, that extension will stop working, so it is important that you select all of the bases that your extensions need.

  4. Click on Create Token button

  5. A modal will show up where you can copy the token and use it on the legacy website.

Then, replace your API Key here. If you have more than one API Key, it would be best to create a new one using the Add button.

Finally, you need to update each extension's Airtable User API Key to match the one you just replaced/created.

  • Open the extension

  • Go to Step 1: Airtable Account

  • Under Airtable User API Key select the option you created for the new Personal Access Token

  • Scroll down and Save
