Credentials

​
1. Create a Personal Access Token

  1. Go to airtable.com/create/tokens
  2. Create a token with the scopes data.records:read and schema.bases:read
  3. For the airtable CLI’s writes, add data.records:write, and for comments data.recordComments:read and data.recordComments:write
  4. Under Access, add the bases the mount should see
  5. Copy the token (it starts with pat)
The mount only reads; writes go through the airtable CLI. A token without schema.bases:read cannot list tables, and a base left out of the token’s access list is invisible to it.

​
2. Set Environment Variables

For Python configuration, see the Python Airtable VFS page.
