🔐 How to Get Your Airtable Personal Access Token

Airtable no longer uses old API keys. You now need to generate a Personal Access Token.

🛡️ This token gives access to your data, but don't worry — our app never stores it or sends it anywhere. It stays in your browser.

✅ Steps:

Create an Airtable Personal Access Token:
👉 https://airtable.com/create/tokens
Select "Personal Access Tokens" from the side menu.
Click "Create new token" to generate a new Personal Access Token.
Fill in the fields:
- Name: AirtableRecycler or anything you like
- Scopes:
  - ✅ data.records:read
  - ✅ data.records:write (optional if you only export)
  - ✅ schema.bases:read
- Select bases: Choose the specific base(s) you want to allow access to
Click "Create token"
Copy the token. It looks like:
```
pat123abc456def789...
```
Paste it into our app when prompted. ✅ Done!
