Boards

Boards are Copera's structured-data surface. The Boards API lets you read and write records programmatically: list boards and their tables, read and create rows with typed columns, edit rich-text cells, download file attachments, manage row comments, authenticate rows against credential columns, and export a view to a file.

Quick Start

REST API

# List all boards
curl -X GET https://api.copera.ai/public/v1/board/list-boards \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

# Get a specific board
curl -X GET https://api.copera.ai/public/v1/board/BOARD_ID \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

# List rows in a table
curl -X GET https://api.copera.ai/public/v1/board/BOARD_ID/table/TABLE_ID/rows \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

# Create a row
curl -X POST https://api.copera.ai/public/v1/board/BOARD_ID/table/TABLE_ID/row \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "columns": [
      { "columnId": "COLUMN_ID", "value": "Hello" }
    ]
  }'

Node.js SDK

npm install @copera.ai/sdk

import { CoperaAI } from '@copera.ai/sdk';

const copera = CoperaAI({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY' });

// List all boards
const boards = await copera.board.listBoards();

// Get board details
const board = await copera.board.getBoardDetails({ boardId: 'BOARD_ID' });

// List tables in a board
const tables = await copera.board.listBoardTables({ boardId: 'BOARD_ID' });

// List rows in a table
const rows = await copera.board.listTableRows({
  boardId: 'BOARD_ID',
  tableId: 'TABLE_ID',
});

// Create a row
const newRow = await copera.board.createTableRow({
  boardId: 'BOARD_ID',
  tableId: 'TABLE_ID',
  columns: [{ columnId: 'COLUMN_ID', value: 'Hello' }],
});

// List row comments (cursor pagination + visibility filter)
const comments = await copera.board.listRowComments({
  boardId: 'BOARD_ID',
  tableId: 'TABLE_ID',
  rowId: 'ROW_ID',
  visibility: 'all',
});

✅ Full	✅ Full	✅ Most (no rich-text column markdown, no row authenticate)	◑ Read-only

Boards is the only domain currently exposed to the in-app Copera AI assistant, and there it is read-only. The hosted MCP server covers the full board model except the rich-text column markdown endpoints and the row authenticate flow.

• How a Board Works — the board/table/row data model, column types and cells, rich-text and file attachments, row comments and visibility, row authentication, filtering, sorting, and async exports.
• Boards in the API Reference — every board, table, row, comment, authenticate, and export endpoint with request/response schemas.
