Blocker - Unable to load data

[l-i-n-k]

Dear Thomas & Airtable to Figma team, I have a critical problem towards the end of the week if this can’t be fixed =8-O

1. Can someone confirm that this problem exists?

The plugin seems to be unable to fetch data from any Airtable source.

If not, I need to investigate on my side…

same issue here

Something has changed on the side of Airtable, it has something to do with the JSON parser for the accessPolicy, will check it later!

[lifeofgurpreet]

Yup. Lots of changes on their end recently to improve the tool!

[l-i-n-k]

Found this announcement https://support.airtable.com/docs/changes-to-airtable-attachments …but didn’t help.

[thgh]

This plugin scrapes the HTML from the shared view, so those changes should not affect this plugin.

Right now I'm getting this same error! Please let me know if there is anything we can do to fix!

This plug-in is amazing! And is a game-changer for design automation!

Is there anything we can do to fix this issue?

[l-i-n-k]

My slightly complicated workaround:

1. Create a google spreadsheet
2. Create the column headers
3. Copy-paste the content of the required columns over
4. Use one of the google spreadsheet sync plugins

Pictures need a cell to create the stable download-url.

Multiple downsides. Foremost you have to prepare the proper amount of layers.

I've already tried it during this week and it's obviously very complicated. I'm going to stick with it so here's to that for now.

Hey everyone, it seems that Airtable tries to hide some data if the request does not come from a browser. There are ways to work around this, so after more than a month, this issue is finally fixed!

Hi still not working for me? getting the unable to load data

[grantgreene125]

How do we do the image url from google sheets?

[l-i-n-k]

@grantgreene125 In Airtable create a formula column:

IF({attachment_column}, SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE((REGEX_EXTRACT({attachment_column},"\(.+?\)")),"(",""),")",""),"")

Please excuse the bad practice of Regex and substitute, I didn’t find a working Regex to extract the URL.

@thgh For some reason your fix didn’t arrive to the community. The plugin page still says "Last updated 2 years ago"

[thgh]

Hmm, I only checked here, I thought only the API went down

[thgh]

I reviewed the clientside code and it expected a different API output. Just made another change to the API that should fix it! So no plugin update required.
