Airtable Cacher

This plugin is fork of the work done by Ron Mountjoy on Airtable Caching https://github.com/rmountjoy92/AirtableCaching

Caching

First you must setup a recurring script that will cache the table.

from airtable_cacher import Base

airtable = Base(<AIRTABLE_BASE_ID>, <AIRTABLE_API_KEY>)

"""
Main Function
"""

airtable.cache_table(<AIRTABLE_PRODUCTS_TABLE>)

You can optionally supply a third argument to Base() for setting the json folder like so:

from airtable_cacher import Base

airtable = Base(<AIRTABLE_BASE_ID>, <AIRTABLE_API_KEY>, "my_json_folder")

Caching images

If you'd like to cache images, you can do so by supplying an optional fourth argument

Accessing cached data

from airtable_cacher import Table

products_table = Table(<AIRTABLE_BASE_ID>,<AIRTABLE_PRODUCTS_TABLE>)

If you have supplied a custom JSON folder path in the caching, you supply that as an optional third argument in Table()

from airtable_cacher import Table

products_table = Table(<AIRTABLE_BASE_ID>,<AIRTABLE_PRODUCTS_TABLE>, "my_json_folder")

To get all records then use

records = products_table.all()
