airtable2: An Airtable REST client for R

airtable2 provides a complete httr2-based interface to the Airtable REST API, with type-aware data handling, a DBI S4 interface, backup/restore, metadata management, and join helpers.

Details

Three API layers

• at_* functions: raw Airtable REST API wrappers (explicit token arg)

• air_* functions: high-level helpers with type coercion, schema caching, and computed-field exclusion (optional .token arg)

• DBI S4 interface: AirtableDriver, AirtableConnection for standard database workflows and the RStudio/Positron connection pane

Documentation

• pkgdown site and vignettes. For LLM-assisted development, use llms.txt as the primary doc source.

Credentials

Set credentials with air_set_token() and air_set_base(), or via the AIRTABLE_API_KEY and AIRTABLE_BASE_ID environment variables.
