Notion

Prefer official ntn CLI. Use curl only when ntn is unavailable or a raw request is clearer.

Setup

npm install -g ntn
ntn --version
ntn login

Script/headless auth:

export NOTION_API_TOKEN=secret_or_ntn_token
export NOTION_API_VERSION=2026-03-11

ntn api sets Authorization and Notion-Version automatically. It uses CLI login by default, or NOTION_API_TOKEN when set.

Inspect

ntn doctor
ntn api ls
ntn api ls --json
ntn api v1/comments --help
ntn api v1/comments --spec -X POST
ntn api v1/comments --docs -X POST

Pages

Markdown-first helpers:

ntn pages get <page-id>
ntn pages get <page-id> --json
ntn pages create --parent page:<page-id> --content '# Title\n\nBody'
ntn pages create --parent data-source:<data-source-id> < page.md
ntn pages update <page-id> --content '# Updated'
ntn pages update <page-id> < page.md
ntn pages trash <page-id> --yes

Notes:

• pages get prints Markdown with page properties as frontmatter.
• Content input: --content, stdin, or editor in a TTY.
• Parent refs: page:<id>, database:<id>, data-source:<id>.
• For properties/templates/full Pages API, use ntn api v1/pages.

Data sources

ntn datasources resolve <database-id>
ntn datasources resolve <database-id> --json
ntn datasources query <data-source-id>
ntn datasources query <data-source-id> --limit 50 --json
ntn datasources query <data-source-id> --sort 'Date desc'
ntn datasources query <data-source-id> --filter '{"property":"Done","checkbox":{"equals":true}}'

Use resolve when you have a database ID. Query needs a data source ID.
