Notion Workspace

notion-workspace Skill

Manage your Notion workspace from the CLI or as an importable Python module.

Setup

Set your Notion integration token:

export NOTION_TOKEN=ntn_...

Or the default token embedded in the script will be used.

Make sure your Notion integration has access to the pages/databases you want to use.
In Notion: open a page → Share → Invite your integration.
