# Airtable

> Resources, examples, configuration and evidence for Airtable.

Use the `@bijection/connectors/airtable` entrypoint to declare Airtable resources.

## Availability

This page describes the pinned source package. Published availability is unestablished for this artifact. [Source build and package availability](https://docs.bijection.com/client/sdk-distribution.md).

## Resources and modes

| Resource | Mode | Description |
| - | - | - |
| Table records | `pull` | List, point reads and unconditional updates |
| Webhook payload log | `log` | Retained payloads with signed pings as hints |

Declare a resource in application code, then bind deployment-specific settings and credentials. See [typed resources](https://docs.bijection.com/integrations/resources.md), [connections](https://docs.bijection.com/integrations/connections.md) and [source inspection](https://docs.bijection.com/integrations/cli.md).

## Table records

### pull: List, point reads and unconditional updates

The following example matches configuration `standard`.

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import { airtable } from "@bijection/connectors/airtable";
import { makeFunctionReference } from "bijection/server";

export const orders = airtable.records.pull({
  governingRule: makeFunctionReference<"query", any, [null]>(
    "policies:canWrite",
  ),
});
```

> **Inferred record types**
>
> ```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
> Resource without an operational record table
> ```

The function references identify application policy queries. Implement those policies in your application; the references alone grant no authority.

#### Configuration: standard

Case: `airtable/records/pull/standard`.

Connection and resource configuration are declared by this exact case.

Credential kind: `airtable`. Keep credential material in the private credential inventory.

| Setting | Type | Required | Owner |
| - | - | - | - |
| `baseId` | string | Yes | Resource binding |
| `tableId` | string | Yes | Resource binding |

## Webhook payload log

### log: Retained payloads with signed pings as hints

The following example matches configuration `pinged`.

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
import { airtable } from "@bijection/connectors/airtable";
export const changes = airtable.changes.log({ updates: "pings" });
```

> **Inferred record types**

> ```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
> Resource without an operational record table

#### Configuration: pinged

Case: `airtable/changes/log/pinged`.

Connection and resource configuration are declared by this exact case.

Credential kind: `airtable`. Keep credential material in the private credential inventory.

## Provider guidance

Compiled declaration examples and configuration details are published in the [connector reference](https://docs.bijection.com/integrations/connectors/index).

The connection holds an `airtable` credential (`airtable.credential`), a personal
access token for `https://api.airtable.com`. Identity is the token's user id from
`v0/meta/whoami`. Bindings select the table with `baseId` and `tableId`, and the
payload log with `baseId` and `webhookId`.

`records.pull` lists the table by Airtable's opaque `offset`, which is absent on
the last page. Each record keeps `id`, `createdTime` and every returned cell as
the JSON text of the value received. A number is a JSON double, so its text is
that double's shortest spelling; it is never re-rounded to the field's precision
or claimed as an exact decimal. A point read of a deleted record answered 403,
the same status as a permission refusal, so neither 403 nor 404 is a tombstone:
reconciliation refreshes known records and never withdraws one. A listing ends
without withdrawing anything.

`update` sends `PATCH` with `{ fields, typecast: false }`. `typecast: true` would
let Airtable create select options and coerce values, which changes the base, so
it stays off. Identical requests produced distinct records and no idempotency key
exists, so a send is a single attempt and reconciliation reports an unknown
outcome.

`changes.log` reads the webhook's payload log by Airtable's numeric cursor while
`mightHaveMore` holds. Airtable keeps payloads for seven days; a pass walks the
retained window, and changes older than it are lost without a tombstone. Each
payload is kept by `baseTransactionNumber`, with Airtable's changed, created and
destroyed ids as JSON text. Deletions of records appear only here.

With `updates: "pings"`, a webhook ping verified as HMAC-SHA256 over the raw body
(`X-Airtable-Content-MAC: hmac-sha256=<hex>`) requests another pass. The signing
credential is the webhook's `macSecretBase64`, and the key is its base64-decoded
bytes. The ping carries no change data and no timestamp, so it proves a refresh
hint and replay is bounded only by the delivery ring.

Airtable allows five requests per second per base, declared as one shared
five-per-second bucket for the connection. A stated `Retry-After` is honoured;
the documented 30-second penalty after a 429 is not stated in the response and is
not modelled beyond the transient-failure back-off. Nothing here has run against
Airtable or been qualified.
