Database Operations

List Databases

# Tab-separated list
noti database list

# JSON output
noti database list --json

Show Database Schema

# Table format (human/AI readable)
noti database schema <database_id>

# JSON format (full property definitions)
noti database schema <database_id> --json

# Output to file
noti database schema <database_id> --json -o schema.json

Shows property names, types, and available options (select/multi_select/status). Use --json to get detailed type information for programmatic use.

Query Database

# Basic query
noti database query <database_id>

# Query with filter
noti database query <database_id> -f "Status=Done"
noti database query <database_id> -f "Priority!=Low" -f "Status=In Progress"

# Query with sort
noti database query <database_id> -s "Name:asc"
noti database query <database_id> -s "created_time:desc"

# Combined query
noti database query <database_id> -f "Status=Done" -s "Name:asc" --limit 10

Filter Operators:

• =, != - Equality comparison
• >, <, >=, <= - Numeric/date comparison
• contains, !contains - Text/multi-select search

Export Database

# JSON format
noti database export <database_id> -f json -o data.json

# CSV format
noti database export <database_id> -f csv -o data.csv

# Markdown format
noti database export <database_id> -f markdown -o data.md

Import to Database

# Import from CSV
noti database import -f data.csv -d <database_id>

# Dry run (validation only)
noti database import -f data.csv -d <database_id> --dry-run

# Use mapping file
noti database import -f data.csv -d <database_id> --map-file mapping.json

Create Database

# Create with schema JSON file
noti database create <parent_page_id> schema.json

Schema JSON format:

{
  "title": "Task Management",
  "properties": {
    "Name": { "type": "title" },
    "Status": { "type": "select", "options": ["Todo", "In Progress", "Done"] },
    "Priority": { "type": "number" },
    "DueDate": { "type": "date" }
  }
}

# Get page
noti database page get <page_id>

# Update page properties from JSON file
noti database page update <page_id> page_data.json

# Delete page (-f required)
noti database page remove <page_id> -f

Page data JSON format (used for both add and update):

{
  "properties": {
    "Name": "Task Name",

  }
}

For update, only the specified properties are changed; other properties remain unchanged.
