Notion API Integration

Complete Notion API reference. See auxiliary files for detailed operations.

Quick Start

curl 'https://api.notion.com/v1/users/me' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NOTION_API_KEY" \
  -H "Notion-Version: 2022-06-28"

Setup

On first use, read setup.md. Preferences stored in ~/notion-api-integration/memory.md.

When to Use

Any Notion operation: databases, pages, blocks, users, search, comments, properties.

Architecture

~/notion-api-integration/
├── memory.md      # Workspace context
└── databases.md   # Tracked database IDs

Quick Reference

Core Rules

1. API version header required - Always include Notion-Version: 2022-06-28 (or newer)
2. Bearer token auth - Authorization: Bearer $NOTION_API_KEY
3. Page IDs without dashes - Remove dashes from URLs: abc123def456 not abc-123-def-456
4. Property names are case-sensitive - Match exactly as defined in database
5. Pagination mandatory - Use start_cursor for results over 100 items
6. Rate limits - 3 requests/second average, burst allowed
7. Integration access - Pages must be shared with integration to access

Authentication

Required environment variable:

• NOTION_API_KEY - Internal integration token (starts with ntn_ or secret_)

# All requests require these headers
curl 'https://api.notion.com/v1/...' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NOTION_API_KEY" \
  -H "Notion-Version: 2022-06-28" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Common Traps

• Missing Notion-Version header - 400 error
• Page ID with dashes - 404 not found
• Property name mismatch - Silent failure or error
• Skipping pagination - Miss data beyond first 100
• No integration access - 404 even if page exists

External Endpoints

No other endpoints are accessed.

Security & Privacy

Environment variable used:

• NOTION_API_KEY - for API authentication

Sent to Notion: Database queries, page content, block updates via api.notion.com

Stays local: API key (in environment variable only), ~/notion-api-integration/ preferences

Never: Store API keys in files, access pages not shared with integration

Scope

This skill ONLY:

• Makes requests to api.notion.com endpoints
• Stores preferences in ~/notion-api-integration/
• Provides curl and code examples

This skill NEVER:

• Accesses files outside ~/notion-api-integration/
• Makes requests to other endpoints
• Stores API keys in files

Trust

By using this skill, data is sent to Notion (notion.com).

Only install if you trust Notion with your workspace data.
