It is shiny from outside but has many issues that are embarrassing and can only be discovered once you have used it. (I guess looking at the open list of issues will also give you a hint).

Their UI and interface isn't that bad but their APIs are VERY BASIC. For example, there is no way to retrieve metadata about an Airtable base (sheetnames, columns etc). Or, there is no way to tell whether a link between sheets is a singular link or list of links. No way to connect different bases together.

Many of feature requests that were opened 3-4 years back still have no closure despite popular demand.

In my opinion Airtable is alright for basic usage (like yours). But nothing advance.

I know all this because I created an open-source library to dynamically create postgres database from multiple Airtable bases. (In case anyone is interested)

The API documentation is amazing though; at least the aspect I tried. You select your table (base) and the documentation shows examples ready to be pasted in your app - don't need to change anything but the data your want to insert.

Thanks, it did sound too good to be true!
