About

Airtable looks like a spreadsheet but acts like a real database, and its API lets you create, read, update, and delete records with simple web requests. Free accounts get generous usage, and Airtable even generates code examples customized to your exact base once you log in. It's the go-to for pairing a friendly data table with websites, forms, and automations.
