Tulip (frontline ops/MES) API: read and write tables

Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
Generate an API token in Tulip with the required scopes (e.g. tables:read, tables:write) for the operations you need.
For reading, call GET https://{instance}.tulip.co/api/v3/w/{workspace}/tables/{tableId}/records with optional query/filter parameters.
For writing, POST or PUT to the same records endpoint (PUT for a specific record ID) with a JSON body to create or update records.
Use table-management endpoints to fetch table metadata (columns/types) or create new tables before writing, to ensure schema compatibility.
Where the external ERP/MES must initiate the connection, use the Tables API directly; where Tulip should initiate the connection, use Tulip Connectors instead.
Known gotchas
API tokens are scoped by permission (tables:read vs tables:write) — a token missing the right scope fails writes even if reads succeed.
Endpoint paths are instance- and workspace-specific ({yourinstance}.tulip.co/.../w/{workspace}/...) — hardcoding a generic base URL across customers/environments will break.
Table API vs Connectors are two different integration patterns (pull vs push) — picking the wrong one for your MES/ERP direction of control leads to unnecessary polling or missed real-time updates.
