SeaTable Datasource Plugin for Budibase

A Budibase custom datasource plugin for SeaTable.

This plugin works with self-hosted Budibase instances only. Budibase Cloud does not support custom datasource plugins.

Features

• Create Row — Insert a new row with JSON data
• List Rows — Read rows with optional view filter and record limit
• Update Row — Update a row by ID with JSON data
• Delete Row — Delete a row by ID

Installation

Option 1: Upload tar.gz

1. Download budibase-datasource-seatable-1.0.0.tar.gz from the latest release
2. In Budibase, go to Settings > Plugins and upload the file

Option 2: Plugins directory

Mount or copy the .tar.gz into your Budibase plugins directory and set the PLUGINS_DIR environment variable.

Configuration

1. In SeaTable, go to your base and create an API Token (read-write)
2. In Budibase, add a new SeaTable datasource
3. Enter the Server URL (default: https://cloud.seatable.io) and API Token

The plugin automatically exchanges the API token for a short-lived base access token.

Development
