Notion Workspace

Manage Notion workspace — search pages, read content, create pages in databases, append blocks, and list databases. Uses Notion REST API directly via urllib/requests.

notion-workspace Skill

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

Setup

Set your Notion integration token:

bash

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.

python3 scripts/notion.py search "project notes"
python3 scripts/notion.py search "budget" --type database

python3 scripts/notion.py read PAGE_ID

# With block content
python3 scripts/notion.py read PAGE_ID --blocks
