Core APIs

Read Page with Content

Replace <your-page-id> with your actual Notion page ID:

# Get page metadata
curl -s -X GET "https://api.notion.com/v1/pages/<your-page-id>" --header "Authorization: Bearer $NOTION_TOKEN" --header "Notion-Version: 2022-06-28" | jq '{title: .properties.title.title[0].plain_text, url, last_edited_time}'

# Get page content blocks
curl -s -X GET "https://api.notion.com/v1/blocks/<your-page-id>/children?page_size=100" --header "Authorization: Bearer $NOTION_TOKEN" --header "Notion-Version: 2022-06-28" | jq '.results[] | {type, text: (.[.type].rich_text // [] | map(.plain_text) | join("")), has_children}'

Read Nested Blocks (Toggle, etc.)

Blocks with has_children: true contain nested content. Replace <your-block-id> with your actual block ID:

curl -s -X GET "https://api.notion.com/v1/blocks/<your-block-id>/children" --header "Authorization: Bearer $NOTION_TOKEN" --header "Notion-Version: 2022-06-28" | jq '.results[] | {type, text: (.[.type].rich_text // [] | map(.plain_text) | join(""))}'

Search Workspace

Write to /tmp/notion_request.json:

{
  "query": "Meeting Notes",
  "page_size": 10
}

Then run:

curl -s -X POST "https://api.notion.com/v1/search" --header "Authorization: Bearer $NOTION_TOKEN" --header "Notion-Version: 2022-06-28" --header "Content-Type: application/json" -d @/tmp/notion_request.json | jq '.results[] | {id, object, title: .properties.title.title[0].plain_text // .title[0].plain_text}'
