Lakeland Digital Archive (LDA) Export

Export Airtable data to files on disk. Inspired by airtable-export

Usage

You will need the following information:

• Your Airtable base ID - this is a string starting with app...
• Your Airtable API key - this is a string starting with key...

This repository includes a tasks.json file so that it can be run from within VSCode using the Command Palette (Command + Shift + P). Select Tasks: Run Task then deno: run or deno: compile.

If you want to run directly from the command line, you would invoke:

deno run \ 
--allow-env=AIRTABLE_BASE_ID,AIRTABLE_API_KEY \
--allow-net=api.airtable.com \
--allow-read=. \
--allow-write=. \
./src/main.ts

Additional flags can be passed in after main.ts:

• To configure the directory for data export: --outputDir=DIRNAME
• To export data from all tables: --backup

By default, this script will save results to dist. When compiled, this project emits a binary named lda-export
