You would more than likely refer to the Code Pages documentation and the RESTful API documentation, too. The RESTful API documentation is nice because it demonstrates how to use jQuery and the Fetch API with code pages. Other than that, I'm not sure where else you'd find other JavaScript documentation for QuickBase unless you search around a bit on the community forums. I'm sure other users have some input on this as well.

    In RESTful API documentation page its mostly about writing query, but i need javascript mainly to bring more programmatic ability to some auto-generated fields in records. In many Q&A I have seen experts giving answers by using js. If there is a doc I can  program myself, but there seems no docs. related with this.

      It isn't very intuitive on their site but keep in mind that you can select the code you want to see on there. You have to do it for every single thing you view but you can see a code example in JavaScript or even JavaScript ES6. It can be tough to smash many code examples together from this website but it may help give a starting point if you did not notice this before.

        This is something I'm very much interested in. I have seen some examples and it seems using programming language like Python is only for querying the database. Is there any way by which I can deploy my python code in QuickBase (may be in code pages/formula fields) and use its result in another dedicated field.
        If so, please guide.
