Work with API data in Airtable, without code

It takes just 4 simple steps to set up Data Fetcher's data imports in Airtable

Step 1

Add the Data Fetcher extension

Get started by installing Data Fetcher in your Airtable base. Create a free account to begin connecting Airtable to your apps and APIs.

Step 2

Build your request

Connect to virtually any data source with Data Fetcher's flexible options. Use our pre-built integrations with 50+ popular apps like OpenAI, Google Sheets, and Facebook Ads for instant setup, or connect to any REST API, GraphQL API, or remote file (CSV, XML, RSS, JSON) with custom requests. The simple interface lets you configure exactly what data to import.

Step 3

Map your fields

Match incoming data to your Airtable fields with Data Fetcher's visual mapping tool. Transform your data as it comes in by selecting which API fields go where in your Airtable base. Add formulas to format data during import. Map data directly to linked fields in Airtable to maintain relationships between tables.

Step 4

Schedule Automatic Imports

Put your base on autopilot with scheduled imports. Set your data to refresh as frequently as every 5 minutes, when a webhook is triggered, or on a custom schedule. Data Fetcher handles the updates silently in the background, even when you're not using Airtable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Data Fetcher connects Airtable to almost any external data source. You can import data from any REST or GraphQL API, including popular services like Stripe, Google Analytics, and Xero. Beyond APIs, Data Fetcher also imports remote files in formats like CSV, JSON, XML, and RSS feeds. The extension comes with 50+ pre-built integrations for popular platforms to get you started quickly, but the real power lies in being able to connect to any custom API your business uses—even internal or proprietary systems that don't have existing Airtable integrations.

No! Data Fetcher is designed for non-technical users with an intuitive visual interface. Our pre-built integrations handle all technical details for popular services, while custom API connections use simple inputs to configure your requests. Some familiarity with API documentation helps, but you don't need programming knowledge to connect external data to Airtable. Many users have learned to work with APIs simply by following our step-by-step guides.

Data Fetcher supports all common authentication methods for secure API connections. You can easily set up Basic Auth with username/password, API keys as headers or parameters, Bearer tokens for JWT authentication, and full OAuth 2.0 for services like Google and Facebook. For OAuth connections, Data Fetcher handles the entire authentication flow automatically, storing your credentials securely while providing a simple interface to connect your accounts.

Data Fetcher handles all common pagination types automatically, allowing you to import large datasets spanning multiple API response pages. The extension supports page-based, offset, cursor, next URL, header, path, and GraphQL cursor pagination methods. Simply select your pagination type in the advanced settings, specify a few parameters based on your API's documentation, and Data Fetcher will seamlessly retrieve all pages of data—either a specific number of pages or until no more data is available.
