Seamless Airtable to Graph translation
BaseQL was one of the more simple tools to work with, we have a very large dataset in Airtable with over 12 tables and 16000 rows of relational data. It took under 15 mins to get it connected to BaseQL and access the data as a graphQL call in our credit kiosk.

BaseQL was a game-changer for my business's communication needs. I needed to create customized iCal feeds for our 50+ employees, each pulling data from complex, interconnected tables in my Airtable base. Using Airtable's native API would have required performing an exponential number of requests and implementing complex joining logic myself - for each employee, I'd need to look up their record, get all their assigned jobs, and then for each job, fetch details like start/end times, client info, equipment lists, payment details, fellow employees on that job, and much more. Each of these would have been separate API requests.
With BaseQL, I transformed this nightmare into a single GraphQL query for each employee. I wrote the script over two years ago, and it's been a perfect 'set and forget' solution, only needing minor tweaks when employees want additional information in their calendar feeds. The built-in GraphQL structure eliminated the need for multiple API calls and complex data joining that would have been necessary with the native Airtable API.

Incredibly easy to set-up and use
BaseQL is a handy tool that allows us to develop our own framework on top of Airtable. It was very easy to set-up and integrate in our API. Their support team is also very swift to respond and help!

Awesome product!
I just signed up today to see the easier way I can deal with Airtable data (Airtable web api is a real pain). Tried it, and man! Life changed. My company really rely on Airtable database, but still want to display the data in our design system instead of embed code.

Once you start using it becomes a really nice experience, your mind just adapts to it really quickly. Really enjoyed using BaseQL and hooking up to it using ColdFusion, it was a lovely combo of no-code and minimal code.

We used a very early release of BaseQL to get this data out in a frontend-friendly format using GraphQL. Switching to this system let us dramatically clean up our frontend code, because the data is structured for the frontend
