How to set up scheduled API requests in Airtable
It takes just 4 simple steps to sync API data into Airtable with Data Fetcher
Step 1
Install Data Fetcher
Begin by adding the Data Fetcher extension to your Airtable base. Set up your free account to start connecting your Airtable base with external APIs and data sources.
Step 2
Create a new request
Choose from our library of 50+ ready-made integrations including Stripe, Google Analytics, and OpenAI for quick setup, or create custom connections to any REST API, GraphQL endpoint, or external file (JSON, CSV, XML, RSS).
Step 3
Set up data mapping
Use Data Fetcher's intuitive field mapper to connect incoming API fields with your Airtable fields, and configure how existing records are updated. Import data into linked fields to maintain relationships between tables.
Step 4
Create your schedule
Configure your API requests to run automatically on your preferred timeline - as frequently as every 5 minutes, in response to webhook triggers, or according to custom schedules. Once set up, Data Fetcher works continuously in the background, keeping your Airtable data fresh even when you're offline.
