Known Gotchas

  • Rate limit (5 req/s) is low — agents must implement throttling for bulk operations
  • Record IDs (recXXX format) required for updates — must query before updating
  • Field names are case-sensitive and space-sensitive — must match exact column names
  • Linked record fields return IDs only — must make additional request to resolve
  • Free tier record limits may block agents writing many records
  • filterByFormula syntax is Airtable-specific — not SQL
