Hello,

I’m currently working on a chrome extension that could add rows to a glide table.  
It works but i’d like that when i open the extension, it gets the columns names form the table and creates the form with the corresponding entries.  
I’m currently able to get the columns ID with the get row http request but I can’t find out how to get the column name.

Try this:

curl --location ‘[https://functions.prod.internal.glideapps.com/api/apps/:appID/tables/:tableID/schema](https://functions.prod.internal.glideapps.com/api/apps/:appID/tables/:tableID/schema)’   
–header ‘Accept: application/json’   
–header ‘Authorization: Bearer {{bearerToken}}’

I also recommend the @glideapps/tables npm package if you can use it.
