I’m having issues with the Notion API. I’m trying to fetch data from a specific database, but I keep getting an error message. Here’s what’s happening:
from notion_client import Client
from notion_client.helpers import fetch_all_pages
notionapi = Client(auth='my_secret_token')
user_list = notionapi.users.list()
print(user_list)
all_data = fetch_all_pages(
notionapi.databases.query, db_id='abc123def456ghi789jkl012'
)
When I run this, I get an error saying the database can’t be found and suggesting I check if the pages and databases are shared with my integration.
I’m pretty sure I’m using the right database ID, and I’ve double-checked my integration settings. Any ideas on what might be causing this or how I can troubleshoot it? I’m trying to pull all the cards from the database, but I can’t even establish a connection.
I’ve encountered similar issues with the Notion API before. One crucial step that’s often overlooked is ensuring your integration has the correct permissions. Navigate to the database in Notion, click ‘Share’, then ‘Add integrations’, and select your integration. This grants necessary access.
Another potential issue could be your API token. These can expire unexpectedly, so it’s worth generating a new one to rule this out. Also, double-check the database ID - even a small typo can cause connection errors.
If these don’t resolve the issue, try using the Notion API Postman collection to test your requests directly. This can help pinpoint whether the problem lies in your code or the API itself.
Lastly, ensure you’re using the latest version of the notion_client library. Outdated versions can sometimes cause unexpected errors.
yo man, i had this same issue last week! make sure u added ur integration to the database in notion. go to the db, hit ‘Share’ and look for ‘Add integrations’. easy to miss but super important. also check ur API token, sometimes they expire without u noticing. good luck!
Hey there! I’ve dealt with similar issues when working with the Notion API. One thing that’s not immediately obvious is that you need to explicitly add your integration to the specific database you’re trying to access. Here’s what I’d suggest:
Go to the database in Notion, click ‘Share’ in the top right, and look for ‘Add integrations’ to select your integration. This step is easy to miss, and it’s separate from just setting up the integration in your workspace. I spent hours banging my head against the wall before realizing this!
Also, double-check that your API token is correct and hasn’t expired. Sometimes tokens can become invalid without you realizing it. If you’re still stuck after trying these, it might be worth using the Notion API Postman collection to test your requests directly. It can help pinpoint if the issue is with your code or with the API itself.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you need any more guidance.
