Say Goodbye to Airtable API Limits with This Google Sheets Hack

Airtable’s API has rate limits and can be inefficient for frequent or high-volume access. If you need to access your data often, there's a better way.

CSV Getter lets you sync your Airtable base with a Google Sheet, turning it into a lightweight, fast-access proxy for your data. Instead of calling the Airtable API every time, you can read from the Google Sheet; saving on API calls and improving performance.

This setup has the added benefit of acting as a backup system. CSV Getter updates the Google Sheet on a schedule, giving you regularly refreshed snapshots of your Airtable base without hammering the Airtable API.

The diagram below shows how the process works, followed by a step-by-step guide to help you set it up.

In order to setup this process you can easily combine the steps from the following guides:

Step 1: Export Airtable to Google Sheets.

Step 2: Export Google Sheets using CSV Getter.
