Airtable Laravel

Talk to the Airtable API from Laravel: config-driven app credentials and Laravel's own HTTP client under the hood.

In this example, we build a client from a token stored for a user and read the authorized user:

use Airtable\Client\AirtableClient;
use Airtable\Laravel\Http\LaravelHttpClient;

$airtable = AirtableClient::factory()
    ->withClientCredentials(config('airtable.auth.client_id'), config('airtable.auth.client_secret'))
    ->withToken($accessToken, $expiresAt, $refreshToken)
    ->withHttpClient(new LaravelHttpClient)
    ->make();

$user = $airtable->users()->me();

Not using Laravel? See karim-tao/airtable-client.

Installation

Requires PHP 8.3+ and Laravel 12 or 13.

You can install the package via composer:

composer require karim-tao/airtable-laravel

The service provider is discovered automatically. Publish the config file if you want to change it:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=airtable-config

Configuration

Set the credentials of your Airtable app in .env:

AIRTABLE_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
AIRTABLE_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret

All options

Everything in config/airtable.php:

How it works

Airtable tokens belong to each user who connects their account, so there is no shared client: build one per user with AirtableClient::factory() and pass LaravelHttpClient, a PSR-18 adapter over Laravel's Http facade, so it honours your HTTP config, fakes and middleware.

Airtable invalidates the previous token pair on every refresh. Pass an event dispatcher with withEventDispatcher() to store the new pair as soon as the client dispatches Airtable\Client\Events\TokenRefreshed.

Testing

composer test

Because requests go through Laravel's Http facade, Http::fake() works out of the box:

Http::fake([
    'api.airtable.com/v0/meta/whoami' => Http::response(['id' => 'usr123', 'email' => 'karim@example.com']),
]);
