Hey everyone! I’m a Python newbie trying to fetch data from Airtable using their API. I’m following a guide I found online, but I’m stuck.
I set up a virtual environment called mypyth and created a script get_data.py. Here’s what it looks like:
import requests
from airtable import airtable
at = airtable.Airtable('base123xyz', 'MY_SECRET_API_KEY')
at.get('MyTable')
When I run it, I get this error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'airtable'
I’m confused. Did I miss a step? Maybe I need to install something? Any tips would be awesome. Thanks!
yo, looks like u forgot to install the airtable package. no biggie, happens to everyone! just run ‘pip install airtable-python-wrapper’ in ur terminal (make sure ur virtual env is active). that should fix it.
also, ur code’s a bit old school. try this instead:
from airtable import Airtable
at = Airtable(‘base123xyz’, ‘MyTable’, ‘MY_SECRET_API_KEY’)
records = at.get_all()
good luck with ur project!
Hey there! I’ve been through the same struggle when I first started working with Airtable and Python. Here’s what worked for me:
First, make sure your virtual environment is activated. Then, run ‘pip install airtable-python-wrapper’ in your terminal. This should solve the ModuleNotFoundError.
Now, about your code. The Airtable library has changed a bit. Try updating your script to something like this:
from airtable import Airtable
base_key = ‘base123xyz’
api_key = ‘MY_SECRET_API_KEY’
table_name = ‘MyTable’
airtable = Airtable(base_key, table_name, api_key)
records = airtable.get_all()
print(records)
This should fetch all records from your table. Remember to replace the placeholders with your actual base key, API key, and table name.
If you’re still having issues, double-check your API key and base ID. Sometimes a typo can cause unexpected errors. Good luck with your project!
It looks like you’re missing the Airtable library in your virtual environment. No worries, this is a common hiccup! To fix it, make sure your ‘mypyth’ environment is activated, then run ‘pip install airtable-python-wrapper’ in your terminal. This should install the necessary package.
Also, a quick heads up: the API syntax in your script is a bit outdated. You might want to update it to something like this:
from airtable import Airtable
at = Airtable(‘base123xyz’, ‘MyTable’, ‘MY_SECRET_API_KEY’)
records = at.get_all()
Don’t forget to replace the placeholders with your actual base ID, table name, and API key. Good luck with your project!
