Improving Airtable data write speed

I'm utilizing the HTTP node to fetch data and then write it to Airtable. However, the process of writing to Airtable is quite slow, with only about one record being added per second. Are there any methods to accelerate this?

Hello,

It depends on the volume of data you're writing and your network connection. We don't process Airtable requests in batches, so if you had 100 items, that would require 100 API calls. I believe transitioning to batches might offer a slight speed improvement, but there will still be some inherent delay.

How can I transition to using batches?

I'm looking for guidance on how to implement batch processing. Can anyone share their experience or provide steps on how to move to batches within the platform?

Hey,

Since our node doesn't offer this functionality, you'll need to make API calls to Airtable using the HTTP Request node, provided Airtable supports a batch or bulk option.
