Set up credentials
Airtable deprecated legacy API keys on February 1, 2024. You now authenticate with a personal access token that you create with specific scopes and base access.1
Open the token page
Go to airtable.com/create/tokens in
the Builder Hub and click Create new token.
2
Name your token
Give the token a descriptive name so you can recognize it later.
3
Add scopes
Click Add a scope and add the read scopes Adapt needs, such as:
data.records:readschema.bases:read
4
Add base access
Click Add a base and select the specific bases (or workspaces) you want
Adapt to access.
5
Create and copy the token
Click Create token, then copy and store the token immediately. Airtable
shows it only once.
A personal access token acts as your Airtable user and is limited to the scopes
and bases you grant. Add only the read scopes and bases Adapt needs.

Security
- Credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256
- Grant only read scopes (
data.records:read,schema.bases:read) and limit the token to the specific bases Adapt needs - Regenerate or delete the token in the Builder Hub if it is ever exposed
- Never share your token publicly or commit it to source control
