Notion Has a Free API — Build Integrations That Read, Write, and Automate Your Workspace
Notion is where teams organize everything — docs, wikis, databases, project boards. Its API turns all of that into programmable data. Query databases, create pages, update properties — all via REST.
Free Tier (Free Plan)
- Unlimited pages and blocks for individuals
- Up to 10 guests for sharing
- 7-day page history
- API access included on all plans
- Integrations with 70+ tools
REST API: Query a Database
const { Client } = require('@notionhq/client');
const notion = new Client({ auth: 'your-integration-token' });
// Query a database with filters
const response = await notion.databases.query({
database_id: 'your-database-id',
filter: {
and: [
{ property: 'Status', status: { equals: 'In Progress' } },
{ property: 'Priority', select: { equals: 'High' } }
]
},
sorts: [{ property: 'Due Date', direction: 'ascending' }]
});
response.results.forEach(page => {
const title = page.properties.Name.title[0]?.plain_text;
const status = page.properties.Status.status?.name;
console.log(\`\${title} — \${status}\`);
});
Create Pages
// Create a page in a database
await notion.pages.create({
parent: { database_id: 'your-db-id' },
properties: {
Name: { title: [{ text: { content: 'New Task' } }] },
Status: { status: { name: 'Not Started' } },
Priority: { select: { name: 'High' } },
'Due Date': { date: { start: '2026-04-01' } },
Assignee: { people: [{ id: 'user-id' }] }
},
children: [
{
object: 'block',
type: 'heading_2',
heading_2: { rich_text: [{ text: { content: 'Task Details' } }] }
},
{
object: 'block',
type: 'paragraph',
paragraph: { rich_text: [{ text: { content: 'Description here...' } }] }
}
]
});
Use Cases
- CRM — sync contacts from your app to a Notion database
- Content calendar — auto-create pages for scheduled articles
- Bug tracker — pipe error alerts into a Notion board
- Meeting notes — auto-generate note templates with attendees
- Knowledge base — sync documentation from code to Notion
The Bottom Line
Notion's API turns your workspace into a platform. Any data that lives in Notion can be read, written, and automated programmatically.
