Hi all,

Apologies for a low-level noob type question, but I’m having trouble setting up a connection to Supabase and the documentation is non-existent. Does anyone have a step by step guide of what needs to go where to make a connection work? My assumption was that “host” meant the restful API endpoint shown in my Supabase console. I tried both port 8081 as well as 6543 and get the same getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND error.

Can anyone help with some documentation of how to actually setup the connection?

Welcome to the Make community!

According to [Supabase](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/api) documentation, they implemented RESTful API using [PostgREST](https://postgrest.org/).

The Supabase guide for API keys can be found here [Understanding API Keys | Supabase Docs](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/api/api-keys)

You probably didn’t grant access to your database correctly.

Have you considered using REST API of [Supabase](https://startintegrate.com/apps/it-development/supabase-u8r7vf), or do you need to run SQL queries?

FYI, for Postgres module host should be taken from Settings → Database, not from Settings → API:

See above valid path sample. From there, you should take “connection string”.

Hope that helps,
