NocoDB REST API integration for Draftbit
Use NocoDB tables as REST data sources
What is NocoDB?
NocoDB exposes spreadsheet-style tables through REST APIs. Add your NocoDB host and optional token, then use table IDs to list, create, update, and delete records.
Use NocoDB with Draftbit
- Built-in endpoints: List records, Get records, Create records, Update records, Delete records.
- Bind any NocoDB endpoint to a screen, list, form, or AI agent action.
- Authentication is configured once per app — secrets stay on the server.
- Add custom request and response transforms without forking NocoDB's client library.
Example
nocodb-example.ts // Example: fetch from NocoDB
const response = await fetch("https://{nocodb_host}/api/v2/tables/{table_id}/records", {
headers: {
"xc-token": "YOUR_NOCODB_TOKEN",
},
});
const data = await response.json();Use cases
- Power a mobile app with a hosted database and APIs
- Add search, filtering, and pagination to a list-driven feature
- Read and write app data without managing your own server
Authentication
Authentication uses the `xc-token` header. Paste your key once in Draftbit and every request to NocoDB carries it automatically — secrets stay on the server side.
