Copy the API key (starts with ntn_ or secret_)
Store it:

Share target pages/databases with your integration (click "..." → "Connect to" → your integration name)
API Basics
All requests need:

Note: The Notion-Version header is required. Use 2025-09-03. The features released in Jan 2026 (Move Page, Templates) are additive and use this version header.
Common Operations

Move a page (Change Parent):

Note: To move to a database, use {"type": "data_source_id", "data_source_id": "..."}.
Create page (Standard):

Create page from Template:

List Data Source Templates:

Update page properties:

Apply Template to existing page (erasing content):

Query a data source (database):

Add blocks to page:

Property Types
Common property formats for database items:
 Title: {"title": [{"text": {"content": "..."}}]}
 Rich text: {"rich_text": [{"text": {"content": "..."}}]}
 Select: {"select": {"name": "Option"}}
 Multi-select: {"multi_select": [{"name": "A"}, {"name": "B"}]}
 Date: {"date": {"start": "2024-01-15", "end": "2024-01-16"}}
 Checkbox: {"checkbox": true}
 Number: {"number": 42}
 URL: {"url": "https://..."}
 Email: {"email": "a@b.com"}
 Relation: {"relation": [{"id": "page_id"}]}
Recent Changes (Jan 2026)
 Move Page API: Use /v1/pages/{id}/move to reparent pages.
 Templates: New endpoints to list templates and parameters to apply them during page creation/update.
 Locking: is_locked boolean now supported in Update Page.
 Tokens: New tokens use ntn_ prefix (formerly secret_).
 Data Sources: Continue using data_source_id for queries (introduced in 2025-09-03).
Notes
 Page/database IDs are UUIDs (with or without dashes)
 The API cannot set database view filters — that's UI-only
 Rate limit: ~3 requests/second average
* Use is_inline: true when creating data sources to embed them in pages

Here is the complete SKILL.md file updated for the January 15, 2026 API state.
