Notion is a versatile workspace tool combining note-taking, task management, databases, and collaboration features into a single platform.

It also supports integration with Notion content, facilitating tasks such as creating pages, retrieving a block, and filtering database entries via API.

Prerequisites

• Notion account
• Generated Integration token (Settings & Members → Connections → Develop or manage integrations → New integration)
• Notion database ID (open database as full page, extract database ID from the URL (https://notion.so/<USERNAME>/<DATABASE_ID>?v=v))
• Added Notion connection (three dots (...) menu → Add Connections → choose created integration)
• @notionhq/client package installed

Integration

Below is an example of interacting with Notion API to create the page (within the chosen database) with icon, cover, properties, and child blocks.

const { Client } = require('@notionhq/client');
const notion = new Client({ auth: process.env.NOTION_INTEGRATION_TOKEN });
const response = await notion.pages.create({
  parent: {
    type: 'database_id',
    database_id: process.env.NOTION_DATABASE_ID
  },
  icon: {
    type: 'emoji',
    emoji: '🆗'
  },
  cover: {
    type: 'external',
    external: {
      url: 'https://cover.com'
    }
  },
  properties: {
    Name: {
      title: [
        {
          type: 'text',
          text: {
            content: 'Some name'
          }
        }
      ]
    },
    Score: {
      number: 42
    },
    Tags: {
      multi_select: [
        {
          name: 'A'
        },
        {
          name: 'B'
        }
      ]
    },
    Generation: {
      select: {
        name: 'I'
      }
    }
    // other properties
  },
  children: [
    {
      object: 'block',
      type: 'bookmark',
      bookmark: {
        url: 'https://bookmark.com'
      }
    }
  ]
});
