 ## How it works
 
 1. Page fetches `/api/nocodb/{viewId}/schema/` to get form title + fields
-2. Schema API queries NocoDB's PostgreSQL meta DB (`nocodb-meta.ts`) to resolve viewId → base/table/fields
-3. Form fields (order, visibility, labels, required) come from `nc_form_view_columns_v2`
+2. Schema API calls NocoDB's REST meta endpoints (`nocodb-meta.ts`) to resolve viewId → base/table/fields
+3. Form fields (order, visibility, labels, required) come from `GET /api/v1/db/meta/views/:viewId/columns`
 4. Submissions go to `/api/nocodb/{viewId}/submit/` which uses the NocoDB SDK for row CRUD
