I’m trying to extract a single select option from a record in a Notion database using the JavaScript SDK. I attempted a solution similar to how multi-select fields are managed, but that approach did not work as expected. I’m facing difficulties understanding the correct method to access and parse the specific property value for a single select field within the API response. Can anyone provide guidance on a different strategy or clarify the proper steps to retrieve this data?
In my experience, retrieving a single select field from a Notion record can be a bit confusing because it doesn’t follow the same array structure used for multi-select fields. I found that you need to focus on accessing the specific nested property where the selection data resides. Once you identify the correct key in the API response, it becomes clear that you need to check for a null value. From my testing, directly accessing the property value and validating its existence allowed me to extract the selection without complications, and this approach has proven reliable.
