At a glance

Create, search, and update Notion pages/databases using the Notion API.

  • Documenting work
  • SKILL.md covers Base headers for direct API…, Find a page (search), Create a page under a parent… and Append blocks to an existing…, plus 2 more sections
  • Calls curl and jq; reaches api.notion.com; needs NOTION_INTEGRATION_KEY
  • Generating runbooks

What it does

Notion is an agent skill from OpenHands/extensions. Create, search, and update Notion pages/databases using the Notion API. Use for documenting work, generating runbooks, and automating knowledge base updates.

Its SKILL.md is about 950 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `.plugin/plugin.json`, `README.md` and `references/windows.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Runbooks and postmortems and Knowledge bases. It works with Notion. The repository describes itself as: Public registry for OpenHands extensions. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Documenting work
  • Generating runbooks
  • Automating knowledge base updates

Example prompts

  • “/notion”

Requirements

  • A credential in NOTION_INTEGRATION_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d008b81. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl
    • jq

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.notion.com

    Also links to:

    • developers.notion.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • NOTION_INTEGRATION_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Notion loads about 945 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 261 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~945
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Notion

Windows PowerShell equivalents for the repeated Notion REST curl, environment-variable, and JSON-body snippets are in references/windows.md.

<IMPORTANT>
If authenticated Notion MCP tools are available in the environment, use them first. MCP tools do not require passing `NOTION_INTEGRATION_KEY` as a tool argument; authentication is handled by the configured MCP integration.

Use the direct Notion REST API examples below only when MCP is unavailable or when you explicitly need raw API/curl access. For that direct-API path, first check whether the required environment variable is set:

bash
[ -n "$NOTION_INTEGRATION_KEY" ] && echo "NOTION_INTEGRATION_KEY is set" || echo "NOTION_INTEGRATION_KEY is NOT set"

If it’s missing and you need the direct API path, ask the user to provide it (or connect a Notion integration) before proceeding:

  • NOTION_INTEGRATION_KEY: Notion integration secret (starts with ntn_...)

Whether you use MCP or the direct API, also confirm the configured integration has been shared with the target page/database in Notion. </IMPORTANT>

Base headers for direct API calls

bash
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${NOTION_INTEGRATION_KEY}" \
-H "Notion-Version: 2022-06-28" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"

Find a page (search)

Use Notion’s search endpoint to find a page by title.

bash
curl -s https://api.notion.com/v1/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${NOTION_INTEGRATION_KEY}" \
  -H "Notion-Version: 2022-06-28" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "query": "OpenHands Wiki",
    "page_size": 10
  }' | jq .

Create a page under a parent page

bash
PARENT_PAGE_ID="<parent_page_id>"

curl -s https://api.notion.com/v1/pages \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${NOTION_INTEGRATION_KEY}" \
  -H "Notion-Version: 2022-06-28" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "parent": {"type": "page_id", "page_id": "'"${PARENT_PAGE_ID}"'"},
    "properties": {
      "title": {
        "title": [{"type": "text", "text": {"content": "My new page"}}]
      }
    },
    "children": [
      {
        "object": "block",
        "type": "paragraph",
        "paragraph": {
          "rich_text": [{"type": "text", "text": {"content": "Hello from OpenHands."}}]
        }
      }
    ]
  }' | jq .

Append blocks to an existing page

Use the page’s block id (same as page id) to append children.

bash
PAGE_ID="<page_id>"

curl -s -X PATCH "https://api.notion.com/v1/blocks/${PAGE_ID}/children" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${NOTION_INTEGRATION_KEY}" \
  -H "Notion-Version: 2022-06-28" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "children": [
      {
        "object": "block",
        "type": "heading_2",
        "heading_2": {"rich_text": [{"type": "text", "text": {"content": "Appended section"}}]}
      }
    ]
  }' | jq .

Tips / gotchas

  • Sharing is required: even with a valid key, the integration can’t see a page/database until it has been shared with the integration in the Notion UI.
  • Rate limits: keep requests small; for large pages, create the page first and then append blocks in batches.
  • IDs format: Notion IDs may be returned with dashes; both dashed and non-dashed forms typically work in API calls.
