Notion API integration with managed OAuth. Query databases, create and update pages, manage blocks. Use this skill when users want to interact with Notion workspaces, databases, or pages. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).

# Notion

Access the Notion API with managed OAuth authentication. Query databases, create pages, manage blocks, and search your workspace.

Quick Start

# Search for pages
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'query': 'meeting notes'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/notion/v1/search', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
req.add_header('Notion-Version', '2025-09-03')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Base URL

https://gateway.maton.ai/notion/{native-api-path}

Replace `{native-api-path}` with the actual Notion API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to `api.notion.com` and automatically injects your OAuth token.

Required Headers

All Notion API requests require the version header:

Notion-Version: 2025-09-03

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

**Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai)

2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings)

3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your Notion OAuth connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`.

List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=notion&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Create Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'notion'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Get Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

**Response:**

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "notion",
    "method": "OAUTH2",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}

Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

Delete Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Specifying Connection

If you have multiple Notion connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'query': 'meeting notes'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/notion/v1/search', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
req.add_header('Notion-Version', '2025-09-03')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

Key Concept: Databases vs Data Sources

In API version 2025-09-03, databases and data sources are separate:

| Concept | Use For |

|---------|---------|

| **Database** | Creating databases, getting data source IDs |

| **Data Source** | Querying, updating schema, updating properties |

Use `GET /databases/{id}` to get the `data_sources` array, then use `/data_sources/` endpoints:

{
  "object": "database",
  "id": "abc123",
  "data_sources": [
    {"id": "def456", "name": "My Database"}
  ]
}

const response = await fetch('https://gateway.maton.ai/notion/v1/search', {
  method: 'POST',

    headers={
        'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}',

Notes

Error Handling

| Status | Meaning |

|--------|---------|

| 400 | Missing Notion connection |

| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |

| 429 | Rate limited (10 req/sec per account) |

| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Notion API |

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

1. Ensure your URL path starts with `notion`. For example:
