Hey everyone! I’ve been using Notion to keep tabs on my daily habits and manage my finances. It’s been great so far, but now I want to take it a step further. I’m trying to pull data from my Notion database using their API. The thing is, I need the Database ID to make it work, and I’m totally stumped on where to find it. I’ve looked all over the place, but no luck. Has anyone here figured out how to get the Database ID in Notion? I’d really appreciate some help on this. It would be awesome to automate some of my tracking and get more insights from my data. Thanks in advance for any tips or guidance you can offer!
I’ve been in your shoes, alexr1990. When I first started integrating Notion with other tools, finding the Database ID was a bit tricky. Here’s what worked for me:
Open your database in Notion, then look at the URL in your browser. You’ll see a long string of characters after the last slash - that’s your Database ID. It should be 32 characters long.
For example, if your URL looks like:
The Database ID would be: a8aec43384f447ed84390e8e42c2e089
Just copy that string, and you’re good to go with the API. It’s a bit hidden, but once you know where to look, it’s straightforward. Good luck with your automation project!
Finding the Database ID in Notion can be a bit tricky at first. Here’s a method that’s worked well for me:
Navigate to your database in Notion and switch to the full-page view. Look at the URL in your browser’s address bar. You’ll see a string of characters after ‘/p/’ in the URL. This string is your Database ID.
For instance, if your URL is:
https://www.notion.so/myworkspace/p/1a2b3c4d5e6f7g8h9i0j1k2l3m4n5o6p
Your Database ID would be:
1a2b3c4d5e6f7g8h9i0j1k2l3m4n5o6p
Copy this ID, and you’re set to use it with the Notion API. Remember to keep this ID secure, as it provides access to your database.
hey alexr1990, i found the database ID by opening the database in notion, then clicking ‘share’ in the top right. there’s an option to ‘copy link’ - the long string of characters at the end of that url is your database ID. hope that helps with your project!
