What is the functionality of Data Fetcher and how does it operate? Data Fetcher is a tool that links Airtable with numerous third-party applications. It offers high power and simplicity in its usage. You can customize the way data is imported into your base and transform it accordingly. Additionally, you can schedule automatic runs. When making requests, you can utilize data from your tables as references. For example, you can retrieve the most recent prices by using a table of stock or cryptocurrency tickers. With the Data Fetcher plugin, there is no longer a need to write scripts or switch between tabs to get all your data into Airtable. It allows you to manage everything using a Postman-like interface, connecting to any JSON/CSV/XML REST API. Data Fetcher modifies your database based on the API response. By scheduling runs, you can keep your base up to date automatically, specifying the time, days, and interval, even up to every 15 minutes. When executing requests, you can utilize data from your tables as references. For instance, you can use a table of stock or cryptocurrency tickers to retrieve the most recent prices. You can also use POST requests to send data from Airtable to other systems, supporting JSON, XML, x-www-form-urlencoded, and form-data formats. Data Fetcher allows access to OAuth2 APIs. Once the connection is established, it automatically handles requests for access tokens and authorization.
