Slightly unrelated, but notion's unofficial python API is cool AF! https://github.com/jamalex/notion-py It's way more powerful than their official API. The official API can only interact with databases, which (as anyone who uses Notion knows) is a tiny subset of the overall things you want to use Notion for. The unofficial Python API lets you have complete programmatic access to all notion pages. The tradeoff is that certain things break. However, after reading the code, I found it quite easy to fix the problems I ran into (https://github.com/jamalex/notion-py/pull/345) and I suspect you'll be able to do the same. (I empathize with maintainers not prioritizing their open source work ahead of family life, business, etc.) Was surprised that it was even possible to have a nice Python class for every possible Notion object, let alone control

This is a great news. I've been toying with the idea of generating parts of my blog from notion. There are currently some projects which reverse-engineered the API and provide an "unofficial" clients [1][2]. The problem though is that I'd like to blog to be minimum maintenance after a spike of work and I'm afraid the unofficial clients will inevitably break and will require updates. The problem with the current beta is the limits of the API. E.g. code block are not supported[3], so you can't really use it to generate a technical blog. Looking forward to the GA :) [1]: https://github.com/jamalex/notion-py [2]: https://github.com/kjk/notionapi [3]: https://developers.notion.com/reference/get-block-children

I have been using Notion in its API form for a while through notion-py[1]. Currently, it powers my blog[2] and for me, it's a really good integration. I write something, ask my friends to review it. I run a command to publish it, and it's live. The workflow is really, really good and removes a ton of friction because the software that you write in is also the one that powers your blog's content. Overall, I think Notion API can open up many, many possibilities, since it can become a really good CMS, besides already being a great note-taking tool, and a team app. Notion has millions of users, and it's a huge market already. Btw, if you're interested in running your blog on Notion, I would love to hear from you!

We combined different approaches to make it work: First, inspecting all network requests that are happening on the web client. That helped to inspect all requests made to read a page and edit content (a lot of data is transiting, maybe that's why it's slow on the startup...). And then I realized there were few existing open-source projects that already done that (https://github.com/kjk/notionapi and https://github.com/jamalex/notion-py), but there were lacking an HTTP API endpoint so that we can easily plug them that to Zapier/Integromat or a Webhook. These two repo didn't had a way to convert a Markdown to a Notion content - which would make it complicated to know every type of blocks that makes a Notion page. Finally you needed to be tech-savvy to be able to deploy the open-source projects and there wasn't any simple integration SaaS ou

Nice! The live-updating reactive stuff is magic! Code is here: https://github.com/jamalex/notion-py I guess why that's why they have a so domain, because NOTION is SO good...
