How to read and write NocoDB records from scripts with Nocodb

Use NocoDB's REST APIs or SDK with a token to feed rows from other tools and send updates out through Slack or email integrations.

Short answer: Start NocoDB with the Docker with SQLite command and create your base; then create a token (JWT or Social Auth) to sign API requests; call the REST APIs or the NocoDB SDK to create, read, update and delete rows. All steps.

Credentials. An API token can change every record it can reach; store it in a secret manager, not in the script.

Who it is forA developer wiring a NocoDB base into other automations.

The problemManual copy and paste between tools and the table causes stale data.

The outcomeScripts that create and update rows, with notifications through App Store integrations.

What you need first

  • Docker for the recommended install, or a prebuilt binary for quick local tests
  • Optional PostgreSQL database for the Docker with PG setup
  • Note the Sustainable Use License, which is not an OSI open source license

Steps

  1. Start NocoDB with the Docker with SQLite command and create your base
  2. Create a token (JWT or Social Auth) to sign API requests
  3. Call the REST APIs or the NocoDB SDK to create, read, update and delete rows
  4. Connect Slack or SMTP from the App Store so changes can notify the team

Prompt for your agent

Using nocodb/nocodb, write a script that signs requests with my NocoDB token and upserts rows from <my CSV> into table <table name> through the REST APIs, then explain how to add a Slack notification from the App Store.

Caveat. The README only names the REST APIs and SDK; endpoint details are in the NocoDB docs.
