Notion

Use the Notion API to create, read, and update pages, databases, and blocks.

When to Use

• "Create a Notion page with my meeting notes"
• "Search my Notion for project plans"
• "Add an item to my Notion database"
• "Query my Notion task tracker"
• "Update the status of this Notion page"

When NOT to Use

• Local Markdown files: use read_file / write_file directly
• Obsidian vaults: use obsidian skill
• Trello boards: use trello skill
• Google Docs: use google_workspace skill

Setup

1. Create an integration at https://notion.so/my-integrations
2. Copy the API key (starts with ntn_ or secret_)
3. Configure in pythonclaw.json:

"skills": {
  "notion": {
    "token": "ntn_your_key_here"
  }
}

4. Share target pages/databases with your integration

Commands

Search pages

python {skill_path}/notion_api.py search "query text"

Get a page

python {skill_path}/notion_api.py get-page <page_id>

Get page content (blocks)

python {skill_path}/notion_api.py get-blocks <page_id>

Create a page in a database

python {skill_path}/notion_api.py create-page --database <db_id> --title "New Item" --props '{"Status": "Todo"}'

Query a database

python {skill_path}/notion_api.py query-db <database_id>

Notes

• Page/database IDs are UUIDs (with or without dashes)
• The API cannot set database view filters (UI-only)
• Rate limit: ~3 requests/second average
• The Notion-Version header is required for direct API calls
