Airtable

Deepnote Airtable integration

Deepnote can query data from Airtable bases. Follow these docs to create your own notebook to connect to Airtable, query data, and visualize it.

1. Duplicate the Airtable template

Open the template by following this link ->

Duplicate the Airtable template

Click the "duplicate" button on the top right corner to do this. Once you've got the template in your Deepnote workspace, you can connect it to your Airtable base.

2. Connect to Airtable from Deepnote

Find your Airtable API key

Follow these instructions to find your API key.

Update the API key in your notebook

Change the variable AIRTABLE_API_KEY to match your API key. If you'd like to keep your data secure, consider storing the token as an environment variable. Environment variables in Deepnote are encrypted and provide a secure way of storing sensitive data.

Find your Airtable base ID

Find the ID of the Airtable base you want to fetch data from by following these instructions.

Update the base ID in your notebook

Change the variable AIRTABLE_BASE_ID to match the base ID you just found.

Update the table name in your notebook

Change the variable AIRTABLE_TABLE_NAME to match the name of the table you want to fetch data from. This is the title of the tab in the Airtable UI.

The name of the table is the name of the tab

3. Query Airtable data from Deepnote

The notebook will set up a table object that you can use to fetch any data from your table. For example, the code below fetches the data and converts it to a Pandas dataframe.

from pyairtable import Table
import pandas as pd

AIRTABLE_TABLE_NAME = 'Sales' # change this to the name of your table

table = Table(AIRTABLE_API_KEY, AIRTABLE_BASE_ID, AIRTABLE_TABLE_NAME)

# table.all() is a method in pyAirtable to get all rows from a table
# docs: https://pyairtable.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html
rows = table.all()

df = pd.DataFrame([row["fields"] for row in rows])
df

When executing the code above, Deepnote will visualize the output dataframe, like we see in the example below.

What's next?

Now that you're querying data, you can share it with your team. You can even turn your charts into a shareable dashboard.

Check out the docs for pyairtable for more information on how to fetch data from Airtable.
