Quick Base HTTP API Reference

The HTTP API is a collection of calls for accessing Quick Base applications over the web. It is a RESTful API over HTTP with XML payloads and an interface only; no components, modules, or libraries are installed at the application end.

Using the Quick Base API, you can:

• Provide secure access to Quick Base and Quick Base applications.

• Manage access through the Quick Base roles feature.

• Automate the application lifecycle: creation, deletion, and copying (cloning) of applications.

• Create, modify, and delete the application’s tables and fields

• Add, update, delete, and querying table records
