Airtable Setup

Creates the 13 tables your College Finder needs — and adds any missing columns to tables you already have.

Before you start:
1. Create a base at airtable.com (empty is fine)
2. Get a token: profile → Builder hub → Personal access tokens → Create
   Scopes needed — all four:
   schema.bases:read, schema.bases:write,
   data.records:read, data.records:write
   schema.bases:read is required just to list your tables — without it you get a 403 before anything is created.
   Access: click Add a base and select your base
3. You must be a Creator on the base — a token can't do more than you can
4. Base ID is in the base URL — starts with app…
From your base URL: airtable.com/appXXXXXXXX/…
