I have tested the extension and it is working great. I know this can be done with the webcomponent, but for a lot of users this will make it much easier to use.
Nice extension!
Little sample. I made a project with a button and listview.
This is the baserow database
With this code I add a row to the database and add the Name value to the listview.
After pressing an item on the listview i search for the text in the database

When the item is found the GotallRows blocks is executed where the item is removed from the database and the listview.
Version 4
Version 4 of the extension is released.
What’s New
- A lot of blocks has been added to this update.
- Extension is now able to upload file from device to baserow server.
Bug Fixed
- Error occured block is not showing errors correctly, it has not fixed
Blocks
This event raises when file uploaded success with a response and file name and url. File name and file url can be extracted from the JSON response. There are a lot of detalis about files returned in response paramter from baserow server
This event raises when the token is generated. It will give your email address and token in response.
This event raises when token is validated. isValid
returns true if the token is valid.
These two block will help you to upload a file from device or a direct url of the file. Upload file block with path paramter works same as clloudinary component works.
token
parameter accept a JWT token. Baserow need JWT authorization for uploading the files to server. A single generated token will be valid for only 60 minute so You will need to generate a new token in every 60 second that is not the recommended way. It will not work with toke key that you generates on your token panel. You can generate it with GenerateToken
block.(This block is not recommended to use in public apps) .
This block helps you to generate the JWT token for using in upload file features. This requires your account email and password.
This block is not recommended to use in public apps. Use it in admin app and save the generated token in an database then use it in your pubic app after fetching the saved token.
TokenGenerated
block will be trieggered when the token will be generated.
This block refresh the old token to a new one(will be valid for 1 hour). Make sure the old token must be valid. TokenGenerated event will be trieggered with a new token.
This block validates the given token. TokenValidated event will be reaised with true if the token is valid otherwise false.
Block Changed
responseCode
parameter has added to the Error Occurred block. With response code you can find the error cause own. For ex, If response code is 401 then it mean you are not authorized or your token is not valid or expired.
How to Use
How to generate the token
You will just need to pass your email address and password to the block and then Token Generated event will be raised with a token.
You can save it now to a global variable for using it.
Let see how to use the new upload files blcoks.
Upload the file by URL
- You need to generate the token first for uploading the file.
- You must have a direct url of the file that you are uploading.
I am going to upload an extension by its direct drive url.
Response
After file uploaded I recieved a response from File Uploaded block that contains all details of the file.

If we uploads an image then we get it two thumbnail size image url and its normal image url.
I hope you understood all thing now.
I hope you liked and enjoyed the new update

Thank You All
Sumit
Great you made it free
Can you tell what the changes are from the previous version?
hey i think i got confused. is this an ai or a database?
I don't know what is "ai". It's a database connection extension for baserow database.
I get an error saying the page size is limited to 200. My database has 380 lines in it
That's a nice round number.
Did you overstay your welcome on a free sample?
What do you mean, free sample? The extension is entirely free to use, and the Baserow free tier limit is 3000 rows. Why does this extension limit it to 200 records?
Wrong URL BaseRow
Good morning,
I'm new to this forum.
I wanted to cel BaseRow DB to App Inventor. I downloaded the extension and then everything was ok.
Then I entered table ID then token and URL.
In the URL I put https://api.baserow.io
However, I don't think it will turn out well. Where do I find URL to my BaseRow DB?
Thanks Marco
It's the API limit of baserow, you can not fetch more than 200 rows at a time. Use pagination. It's explained here :
URL is already defined in the extension, if you are hosting baserow somewhere then you have to enter your custom URL. Show blocks and error to get more help.
Here is the code I use. I run the code but I don't see anything, not even errors. How come? Could you please tell me where I'm wrong?
Thanks Marco
I forgot to mention that I have to connect to baserow db and I can't with the extensions I have installed
You only need to set https://api.baserow.io
in URL property. And you dont need to set any URL if you are not using custom hosting just remove that block, it is already defined in the URL property.
I have a users table on baserow with username and password.
Can I create code on baserow db to authenticate a typical user on google firebase?
You can use the Search or Filter block to fetch user data. However, such databases are not recommended for user authentication, as they can expose your user base to everyone.
