we don't have that atm, would love a PR if you're open to it!
Alas I would love to but I am not a dev... can I help in another way?
I can take a look at it,but I'm not sure what kind of data you need. Is it something like this @thomoliverz ?
Plain Text
{u'records': [
  {u'fields': {u'Diet': u'Kosher or Halal',
    u'Friendly Restaurants': [u'recr0ITqq9C1I92FL', u'recGeAJLw0ZkbwdXZ'],

Basically the data from the API for a base?
I store quotes in an airtable. And I want people to be able to ask questions using those quotes as the data. Currently doing this with the csv loader. I’d like to do directly from airtable so that (1) i don’t need to download, re-download and update a csv and (2) the data updates in real-time. Does that make sense? So I guess if the data from the API contains all the field data then that would work?
1 and 2 are the same, on re-reading
I'd love to see this too!
Okay, I'll look into it.
You’re very kind. Please let me know if I can be of any help in some way
I've made a pr.
just seen you did this @4bidden - thank you so much!
I have just have a query @4bidden - when you load the airtable data, how do you do it? does it just take all the contents in the columns as text and chunk it up?
Basically,the data appears as a dictionary. I don't touch anything I just provide it as it is.
