How to Get Airtable to Power Webflow - Headless CMS

Hey everybody, it's Ben from VisualDev FM. Today, I want to show you something new I've been working on. About a year ago, I made a job board starter in Webflow. I'll put the link in the notes for this video, but it's basically just a basic job board that you can clone and style to your liking. The whole thing works with the Webflow CMS, so you can add and manage your job listings right from there.

But recently, I worked on a project where we were trying to pull data from Airtable and display it on a Webflow site. I know a lot of people do this, and there are a few different ways to approach it. You can use tools like Zapier or Parabola to sync the data behind the scenes, but then you have to run scheduled flows or manually trigger them as your data changes.

That's where NocodeAPI comes in. It's a tool that lets you create an API endpoint for your Airtable data, and then you can use that endpoint to pull the data onto your Webflow site. The great thing about NocodeAPI is that it lets you secure your endpoint, so only certain domains can use it. This means that even if someone were to copy your API key, they wouldn't be able to use it on their own site.

I'll show you how to set this up step by step. First, you'll need to sign up for a NocodeAPI account and connect it to your Airtable account. Then, you can create an endpoint for your Airtable data and choose the specific data you want to access and how you want to access it. NocodeAPI will give you a code snippet that you can use to fetch the data on your Webflow site.

Once you have the code in place, you can easily display your Airtable data on your Webflow site. And because the data is coming from an API endpoint, it will stay up to date automatically. I'm really excited about this, and I think it's a great way to use Airtable data on your Webflow site without having to worry about securing your API keys or running into Airtable's API limits. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next video.
