Are you using an encoded URL for the request? Check out this tool it will help set the URL correctly for GET request

Also are you using the Airtable.js npm package?

initially i made with the GET request, but these request give me only the first line of records, so i see the API documentation for list request and i put the right url with the right key, but the response is 401 (Unauthorized) every time. I'm not using airtable .js – michele banfi Sep 09 '18 at 10:02

401 Unauthorized Accessing a protected resource without authorization or with invalid credentials.

You are not validating the API key which prevents you from getting the authorization

var Airtable = require('airtable');
Airtable.configure({
    endpointUrl: 'https://api.airtable.com',
    apiKey: 'keyxxxxx'
});
var base = Airtable.base('');

You need to confirm Airtable API Key and Airtable base key.

fetch("https://api.airtable.com/v0/appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/Resources?api_key=keyXXXXXXXXXXXXXX")
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(data => {
        console.log(data)
    })
    .catch(error => console.error(error))
