With Meltano

If you're using this tap with Meltano, you can install it as an extractor. The tap is the default extractor for Airtable on MeltanoHub and can be installed using the following command:

meltano add extractor tap-airtable

You can also install the extractor directly from the source.

meltano add extractor tap-airtable --from-ref https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomasvotava/tap-airtable/master/tap-airtable.yml

Configuration

Accepted Config Options

Property	Required	Description
token	Yes	Airtable API token
base_ids	No	List of base IDs to extract data from (if not given, all bases are extracted)
table_mapping	No	Mapping of Airtable table ids to target table names (if not given table names from Airtable are used)

If table_mapping is not provided, the tap will use the table names from Airtable as target table names. This may not be ideal if the table names are not human-readable or if they contain special characters.
