API Key deprecation
N8n was used to provide API key authentication methods with Airtable. Airtable will fully depreciate these keys as of February 2024. If you are using Airtable API credentials, replace them with Airtable personal access tokens or Airtable OAuth2 credentials. We recommend using personal access tokens instead.
