NocoDB CLI
CLI for NocoDB API.
Platform Support
- Linux / macOS:
scripts/nocodb.sh(Bash, requirescurlandjq)
Plan Requirements
FREE PLANS: Base, Table, Field, Record, Link, Attachment APIs, Fiter, Sorts APIs
ENTERPRISE (self-hosted OR cloud-hosted): Workspace, Workspace Collaboration APIs, Base Collaboration APIs, View, Script, Team, API Token APIs
Setup
export NOCODB_TOKEN="your-api-token"
export NOCODB_URL="https://app.nocodb.com" # optional, this is default
export NOCODB_VERBOSE=1 # optional, shows resolved IDsGet your API token: NocoDB → Team & Settings → API Tokens → Add New Token.
Argument Order
Commands follow a hierarchical pattern. Arguments are always in this order:
WORKSPACE → BASE → TABLE → VIEW/FIELD → RECORDYou can use names (human-readable) or IDs (faster, from NocoDB).
ID Prefixes: w=workspace, p=base, m=table, c=column, vw=view
Examples:
- Name:
nc record:list MyBase Users - ID:
nc record:list pdef5678uvw mghi9012rst
Set NOCODB_VERBOSE=1 to see resolved IDs:
NOCODB_VERBOSE=1 nc field:list MyBase Users
# → base: MyBase → pdef5678uvw
# → table: Users → mghi9012rstQuick Reference
