Functionalities of the Notion Public API for a developer

As written in my last blog post, the notion api is finally released for the public!

In this blog i want to give an overview of whats possible now from a developer perspective.

Databases

• Retrieve information about a database (title of the page, list of all properties with types, information when page was created)
• Query entries inside a database (e.g. value of a column ≥ 10)
• List all databases in a workspace

Pages

• Retrieve information about a notion page (last edited date, all page properties)
• Create a new page (Define content as block objects and custom properties)
• Update properties of a page

Blocks

• Return children of a given block
• Create and append new children block to another block

Users

• Retrieve information about a user (e.g. Name, Email, Avatar-URL)
• List notion users inside a notion workspace. Pagination is supported

Search

• Search for pages. The query-Partner will check against the page titles

A detailed list and sample requests and responses can be found in the notion developer documentation:

Feel free to check out my list of all open source apps that were build on top of the notion API. I would highly appreciate if you contribute to this open source project!
