Post to Notion

I thought the Notion API might be a fun thing to play with via Script Kit. I have a singular "tasks" database that I use to capture all manner of things, so I always want to insert pages into it in order to process them later. These scripts will require you to update the databaseID value in the code itself. I could see an expansion of this script to allow for the selection of a specific Notion database from a list.

The second script below takes a second input in order to insert content into the new page -- I was wondering if there is a way to allow multiline text input via Script Kit, which would make that script more robust.

You can get a Notion API token here and find quick-start instructions here, as well as the API reference here.

For a quick overview of the data model, check out Chris Biscardi's video here. For a more in-depth overview, check out this Notion blog post.

Install notion-add-task

let notionToken = await env('NOTION_USER_TOKEN')
let databaseID = "3859b567fda3464ea5a69d5ccb56274b"
let content = await arg('Enter Task')

let {data} = await post(
  'https://api.notion.com/v1/pages', {
  "parent": { "database_id": databaseID },
  "properties": {
    "Name": {
      "title": [
        {

        }
      ]
    }
  }
},
{
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${notionToken}`,
  }
})

let pageID = data.id.replace(/-/g, "");
let pageURL = `https://notion.so/${databaseID}?p=${pageID}`

(I just noticed that I haven't updated the first script to pass the "Notion-Version" header, but it seems unnecessary for now.)
