Getting started with Airtable's Web API

If your table has 501 records, the results will be spread across 6 pages, and therefore 6 HTTP requests are needed to fully capture all of that table's records. Your first request might look something like this with your base's app id appxxx and the table name:

https://api.airtable.com/v0/appxxx/TableName

You will get the first page of records (under the "records" key), but if there is another page, you'll also get an "offset" that would look something like this: 

"offset": "itrSJ1l4jlPyxEG6c/recxxx"

To fetch the next page (in other words, the next 100 records), you'll include that offset as a query parameter. For example: 

https://api.airtable.com/v0/appxxx/TableName?offset=itrSJ1l4jlPyxEG6c%2Frecxxx

This will give you the records from the next page. If there's another page, you'll repeat the process—grab the offset and put it in the offset query parameter. When the response doesn't include an offset anymore, you know you've reached the last page and can stop.

Note

You can use the pageSize parameter to change the number from 100 to a smaller number like 50, but 100 is the maximum and most users do not change this.
