Given that user provided his API key, is there a way to retrieve a list of tables in user's AirTable account?

I do know there is a URL for API queries, with base and table encoded there. Also API docs include only info on how to work with a particular table.

My use case is to allow user to choose a table they want to work with.

Airtable now offers a Metadata Api, however access is limited and must be individually requested, at this time.

As part of our ongoing effort to make Airtable more and more extensible, we’re beginning to expand access to the Metadata API 360.

The metadata API gives you read-only access to a list of a user’s bases, as well as the specific schema of each base - things like what tables exist, what fields exist on those tables, etc. https://community.airtable.com/t/accessing-the-metadata-api/37080

Metadata Api Documentation

Enterprise API also offers endpoints capable of fetching Metadata.

This would be part of the metadata API which does not exist.

See this community post for some non-api workarounds.
