NocoDB CLI

CLI for NocoDB API.

Platform Support

  • Linux / macOS: scripts/nocodb.sh (Bash, requires curl and jq)

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 IDs

Get 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 → RECORD

You 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 → mghi9012rst

Quick Reference

# Workspace APIs (Enterprise only)
nc workspace:list                                   # → wabc1234xyz

# Free plan APIs
nc base:list wabc1234xyz                            # → pdef5678uvw
nc table:list pdef5678uvw                           # → mghi9012rst
nc field:list pdef5678uvw mghi9012rst               # → cjkl3456opq
nc record:list pdef5678uvw mghi9012rst
nc record:get pdef5678uvw mghi9012rst 31
nc filter:list pdef5678uvw mghi9012rst vwmno7890abc

# View APIs (Enterprise only: self-hosted or cloud-hosted)
nc view:list pdef5678uvw mghi9012rst                # → vwmno7890abc

Where Filter Syntax

Run nc where:help for full documentation.

Basic Syntax

(field,operator,value)
(field,operator)                    # for null/blank/checked operators
(field,operator,sub_op)             # for date operators
(field,operator,sub_op,value)       # for date with value

Common Operators

Operator Description Example
eq Equal (name,eq,John)
neq Not equal (status,neq,archived)
like Contains (% wildcard) (name,like,%john%)
in In list (status,in,active,pending)
gt, lt, gte, lte Numeric comparison (price,gt,100)
blank, notblank Null or empty (notes,blank)
checked, notchecked Boolean (is_active,checked)

Date Operators

(created_at,eq,today)
(created_at,isWithin,pastWeek)
(created_at,isWithin,pastNumberOfDays,14)
(due_date,lt,today)                          # overdue

Combining Filters

IMPORTANT: Use ~and, ~or, ~not (with tilde prefix)

(name,eq,John)~and(age,gte,18)
(status,eq,active)~or(status,eq,pending)
~not(is_deleted,checked)
(status,in,active,pending)~and(country,eq,USA)

Complex Examples
