hi @Vincent_Lo
Sorry to bother you, but what are you planning to use these APIs for? Could you share a bit with us?

Hello, I do marketing for different branches of a driving school.

Each branch I create a database to manage students in that area (using the same field types, field names…)

There is a most important brand. Mostly when I manage the main branch database, likely I will edit it (add more fields, edit field names…etc)

I was able to get the field names and types of the databases via API. but I can’t add the changes to other databases automatically.

I want access these API mentioned above to be able to synchronize them to other databases.

Thank you for reading and understanding.

can you tell what’s your thoughts on this topic?

You supported it via AITable. This time let’s do with Bika.

Hi @Vincent_Lo
Thank you very much for providing the description of your business scenario — this is very helpful for us in evaluating the feature request. I’ve already shared your scenario with our product team, and they will conduct an internal review. Once the review is approved, I’ll update you right away; you can also check our Release Notes for the latest updates.
Please note that since Bika.ai and Aitable.ai have different areas of focus, there may be some differences in feature support

Even though I am not the OP, I share the same sentiment.

  1. Coming from AITable it is very odd that there is not a “Create database” node. I am now under the impressions the engineering team for “some reason” thought this was bad?

  2. I am not trying to be rude but the “excuse” “Bika.ai and Aitable.ai have different areas of focus” is a very odd response. Every platform that Bika compares itself or is an a competitor has this as an endpoint even if AItable was out of the picture. Also you guys told ran us around a circle, we were told Bika was an upgrade from AITable, why do that when they are “different products”? Being able to create a node/database would be great, it would be amazing if this was a basic endpoint. i hope the team comes back around to the conversation at some point and time.

  3. I have taken the time to start using Bika more (as I have seen improvements) but it is still a downgrade (from the perspective of a AITable LTD user). I am not trying to be rude, it is just upsetting to see some of these responses. They show the same kind of communication and enthusiasm as the AITable discord.
