I’m trying to filter records in the Shortcuts app using the Airtable API with the ‘fields’ parameter, but I’m encountering issues. I’ve successfully retrieved records using the ‘maxRecords’ setting with the following URL:

https://api.airtable.com/v0/<Base>/<Table>?maxRecords=3

However, when I attempt to filter by specifying the ‘fields’ parameter like this, I receive an error:

https://api.airtable.com/v0/<Base>/<Table>?fields=['Name']

{"error":{"type":"INVALID_REQUEST_UNKNOWN","message":"Invalid request: parameter validation failed. Check your request data."}}

I’ve reviewed the API documentation multiple times but still can’t resolve the problem.

Hey ther! I think you might need to ajust the syntax for “fields” in the URL. Try removing the brackets and single quotes like this: fields=Name or use json array format if needed. Also, make sure “Name” matches ur fieldname in Airtable. Hope this helps!
