The Airtable API Wizard automatically creates GET requests from an Airtable base to display data in your app.

\
a. Click on the top right "**Share**" button from your Airtable base.

7. Click **`+ Add a base`** and select **All workspaces** (you may select a specific base if you want).
8. Click **`Create token`**. Make sure you verified your email first.
9. A new modal shows up: **Your token has been created**. Copy the token.

5\. The Wizard creates two requests per table: one for the **list page** and one for the **detail page**. Therefore, there are 2 tables in my Airtable, but 4 requests have been created. All the data records from the requests are also selected.

{% hint style="info" %}
The **Advanced view** takes you to the "**Custom API**" view, where you can configure the requests further (like adding parameters).
{% endhint %}

6\. You are done! Go back to your **Projects** and start binding data to your apps 🚀
