notion
Use the Notion API to create/read/update/move pages, data sources (databases), and blocks.
Setup
1. Create an integration at https://notion.so/my-integrations
2. Copy the API key (starts with ntn_ or secret_)
3. Store it:
bash mkdir -p ~/.config/notion echo "ntn_your_key_here" > ~/.config/notion/api_key


4. Share target pages/databases with your integration (click "..." β†’ "Connect to" β†’ your integration name)
API Basics
All requests need:
bash NOTION_KEY=$(cat ~/.config/notion/api_key) curl -X GET "https://api.notion.com/v1/..." \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $NOTION_KEY" \ -H "Notion-Version: 2025-09-03" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json"


> Note: The Notion-Version header is required. Use 2025-09-03. The features released in Jan 2026 (Move Page, Templates) are additive and use this version header.
Common Operations
Search for pages and data sources:
bash curl -X POST "https://api.notion.com/v1/search" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $NOTION_KEY" \ -H "Notion-Version: 2025-09-03" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"query": "page title"}'


Get page:
bash curl "https://api.notion.com/v1/pages/{page_id}" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $NOTION_KEY" \ -H "Notion-Version: 2025-09-03"


Move a page (Change Parent):
bash curl -X POST "https://api.notion.com/v1/pages/{page_id}/move" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $NOTION_KEY" \ -H "Notion-Version: 2025-09-03" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "parent": {"type": "page_id", "page_id": "new_parent_page_id"} }'


> *Note: To move to a database, use {"type": "data_source_id", "data_source_id": "..."}.*
Create page (Standard):
bash curl -X POST "https://api.notion.com/v1/pages" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $NOTION_KEY" \ -H "Notion-Version: 2025-09-03" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "parent": {"database_id": "xxx"}, "properties": { "Name": {"title": [{"text": {"content": "New Item"}}]}, "Status": {"select": {"name": "Todo"}} } }'


Create page from Template:
bash curl -X POST "https://api.notion.com/v1/pages" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $NOTION_KEY" \ -H "Notion-Version: 2025-09-03" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "parent": {"database_id": "xxx"}, "template": {"type": "template_id", "template_id": "yyy"} }'


List Data Source Templates:
bash curl -X GET "https://api.notion.com/v1/data_sources/{data_source_id}/templates" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $NOTION_KEY" \ -H "Notion-Version: 2025-09-03"


Update page properties:
bash curl -X PATCH "https://api.notion.com/v1/pages/{page_id}" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $NOTION_KEY" \ -H "Notion-Version: 2025-09-03" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "properties": {"Status": {"select": {"name": "Done"}}}, "is_locked": true }'


Apply Template to existing page (erasing content):
bash curl -X PATCH "https://api.notion.com/v1/pages/{page_id}" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $NOTION_KEY" \ -H "Notion-Version: 2025-09-03" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "template": {"type": "template_id", "template_id": "yyy"}, "erase_content": true }'


Query a data source (database):
bash curl -X POST "https://api.notion.com/v1/data_sources/{data_source_id}/query" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $NOTION_KEY" \ -H "Notion-Version: 2025-09-03" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "filter": {"property": "Status", "select": {"equals": "Active"}}, "sorts": [{"property": "Date", "direction": "descending"}] }'


Add blocks to page:
bash curl -X PATCH "https://api.notion.com/v1/blocks/{page_id}/children" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $NOTION_KEY" \ -H "Notion-Version: 2025-09-03" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "children": [ {"object": "block", "type": "paragraph", "paragraph": {"rich_text": [{"text": {"content": "Hello"}}]}} ] }'



Property Types
Common property formats for database items:
* Title: {"title": [{"text": {"content": "..."}}]}
* Rich text: {"rich_text": [{"text": {"content": "..."}}]}
* Select: {"select": {"name": "Option"}}
* Multi-select: {"multi_select": [{"name": "A"}, {"name": "B"}]}
* Date: {"date": {"start": "2024-01-15", "end": "2024-01-16"}}
* Checkbox: {"checkbox": true}
* Number: {"number": 42}
* URL: {"url": "https://..."}
* Email: {"email": "a@b.com"}
* Relation: {"relation": [{"id": "page_id"}]}
Recent Changes (Jan 2026)
* Move Page API: Use /v1/pages/{id}/move to reparent pages.
* Templates: New endpoints to list templates and parameters to apply them during page creation/update.
* Locking: is_locked boolean now supported in Update Page.
* Tokens: New tokens use ntn_ prefix (formerly secret_).
* Data Sources: Continue using data_source_id for queries (introduced in 2025-09-03).
Notes
* Page/database IDs are UUIDs (with or without dashes)
* The API cannot set database view filters β€” that's UI-only
* Rate limit: ~3 requests/second average
* Use is_inline: true when creating data sources to embed them in pages
