How to get a application token?
I just took over the QuickBase Operation for our company. And I can find anything that allows me to create/review API token? Anyone can give me an idea where to look for it? ------------------------------ Andreas Nagel Senior Software Developer www.KEH.com ------------------------------
Command Line Interface for Quickbase
Quickbase is a no-code platform that problem-solvers use to build powerful business applications regardless of their technical ability, but that doesn't mean software developers can't have fun, too! For example, Quickbase has robust and powerful APIs that enable coders to extend and automate Quickbase. In fact, API requests make up a higher percentage of traffic to Quickbase than one might think. In that spirit, I want to introduce you to the Command Line Interface for Quickbase, which makes it even easier to interact with and automate Quickbase through its APIs. https://github.com/QuickBase/quickbase-cli Graphical interfaces like web browsers make it possible for a wide range of people to use software and simplify tasks. With that said, how many times has your index finger felt like it was going to fall off while fighting sleep as you repeatedly perform some monotonous task in Quickbase through the browser? It's situations like this where the command line can save you hours, not to mention your sanity. You can find examples of how to use the tool in the repository's README. Hopefully, it inspires ideas on how you might use it to save time automating your Quickbase tasks. The CLI tool is one of many capabilities in the Quickbase platform that help you automate repetitive tasks. Here are some guidelines to help point you towards the best tool for your task: Use Pipelines and consume the API directly if you are automating a task in response to an action that happens in Quickbase or another system. Consume the API directly with the language of your choice when building a non-Quickbase application that connects to your Quickbase app. Use the Quickbase CLI to perform app setup/admin tasks and ad-hoc calls to the API. Finally, the Quickbase CLI is released as an open source project, which means you can submit enhancements, bug fixes, and documentation through GitHub pull requests if you can write code. Installation instructions, examples, and tips are provided in the README. The tool is subject to the permissive MIT license, so you can freely use it as you see fit inclusive of use in proprietary applications, provided that you maintain the copyright and license with the code. The license also states that the code is provided as-is without warranty, so unlike the Quickbase platform, the tool is not subject to assistance through Quickbase support entitlements. However, contact with the authors is only a GitHub issue away, so please post and feedback, bugs, and questions through the repository's normal GitHub channels as per the guidelines. Happy building! ------------------------------ Chris Pliakas ------------------------------

Intro / Resource Gap
Hello, Atlanta!! My name is Blake Harrison and I've recently moved back to the area and wanted to say a quick 'HI!'. I am a professional Quick Base developer and a member of the Quick Base Solution Provider program. I've been working with Quick Base since approximately 2009 and started out as a Citizen Developer before going on to work for Quick Base for 4 years and then moving into professional development for the last (almost) 5 years. The Quick Base team puts a lot of work into providing various resources for learning, but I wanted to reach out and see if you felt there was any gap that you've noticed or type of resource you feel would be a great add to the existing ones. Additionally, if you're interested, I've got a Slack channel setup for Quick Base discussion. If you'd like to join, you can use this link to join the DataBlender Slack space: click here to join. ------------------------------ Blake Harrison - DataBlender.io Quick Base Solution Provider ------------------------------
