In Notion’s API, querying my database returns fewer properties (16) than expected (23). Below is a sample revised code:
class NotionHandler:
def __init__(self, key):
self.token = key
self.db_map = {}
def load_settings(self, file_path):
import yaml
with open(file_path) as f:
config = yaml.safe_load(f)
self.token = config.get('API_KEY', self.token)
def fetch_dbs(self):
# Simulated API response
example = [{'name': 'Tasks', 'id': 'db001', 'props': ['a', 'b', 'c'] }]
for entry in example:
self.db_map[entry['name']] = entry['id']
print(entry['name'])
def fetch_pages(self, db_name):
db_id = self.db_map.get(db_name, '')
pages = [{'id': 'pg001', 'data': 'Example Page'}]
for pg in pages:
print(pg)
hey, i had similar issues. check if your db version and prop schema in notion settings match. sometimes its a sync error or api glitch. update your integration details and try again.
I encountered similar problems before and found that it often wasn’t an error in the code but rather a combination of caching issues and nuanced permission settings. I eventually discovered that Notion sometimes only exposes certain properties after they have fully synchronized with the latest API version. Verifying that all necessary permissions were enabled and checking the API documentation for the latest behavior helped resolve the issue. My experience taught me to always consider that some API behavior might differ subtly between the platform interface and the API endpoint, so a bit of investigation can be highly beneficial.
Based on my experience, these discrepancies can sometimes be traced back to how Notion handles schema updates on the API side. I noticed that when properties were recently added in the Notion interface, the API did not immediately reflect those changes, possibly due to a delayed synchronization process. Refreshing the connection by reauthorizing the integration occasionally helped align the expected output. Also, verifying that the integration has access to all properties helps ensure complete data retrieval while waiting for background processes to update.
hey, i noticed that sometimes notion api needs a full re-sync to show all props. may be you missing a reauth or a minor caching bug. definitely check if your query isnt filtering out new properties by accident.
