BETA VERSION

Use the Airtable API to display product catalogues as JSON format for import into Craft CMS via Feed Me

Requires an Airtable with a similar architecture to https://airtable.com/shrsSE8tZcAUoqOds.

NOTE: the SKUS, Prices and Dimensions columns in "Master Products" are created using rollups of fields from the "Product Variants" table

Getting started

1. Clone this repo
2. Run npm install
3. Add your Airtable API key and base ID to index.js
4. Run node index.js to output a JSON feed from your selected Airtable

The terminal output should be something like this...
