I’m having trouble with the Notion API. It’s giving me a 404 status and saying ‘object_not_found’ even though I’ve set everything up correctly (I think).
I’ve connected my database to my Notion Integration and I’m sure I’m using the right bearer token in Postman. I’ve double-checked the database ID too.
Here’s what I’ve done:
Connected my database to the Notion Integration
Linked my Notion Workspace to the Integration
Used the correct database ID in my API request
Made sure to use the right bearer token from my integration
I’ve gone through the official setup guide but it’s still not working. Any ideas what might be causing this? Could there be something I’m missing or a common mistake I’m not seeing?
If anyone has dealt with this before, I’d really appreciate some help. Thanks!
I’ve been there, mate. One thing that tripped me up when I first started with the Notion API was the workspace access. Even if you’ve connected your database to the integration, you need to make sure the integration has access to the entire workspace containing that database.
Go to Settings & Members in your Notion workspace, then click on the Integrations tab. Check if your integration is listed there and has the necessary permissions. If it’s not, you might need to re-add it to the workspace.
Also, try using the ‘Retrieve a database’ endpoint first to see if you can access the database at all. If that works, then the issue might be with the specific operation you’re trying to perform.
Lastly, clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again. Sometimes Notion’s authentication can get stuck in a weird state. Hope this helps!
I encountered a similar problem when I first started working with the Notion API. One often overlooked aspect is the correct formatting of the database ID. Ensure you’re using the ID without any hyphens or additional characters. Also, verify that your integration has both read and write permissions for the specific database you’re trying to access. Another potential issue could be related to the API version you’re using. Make sure you’re using the latest version in your request headers. If all else fails, try creating a new integration and connecting it to your database again. This sometimes resolves unexpected permission issues.
hey mate, i had the same issue. turns out i was using the wrong database ID. double check you’re copying the right one from the URL when you’re in the database view. also, make sure your integration has the right permissions. sometimes notion can be finicky with that stuff. good luck!
