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://api.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))
EOFBase URL
https://api.maton.ai/notion/{native-api-path}Maton proxies requests to api.notion.com and automatically injects your OAuth token.
Required Headers
All Notion API requests require the version header:
Notion-Version: 2025-09-03Authentication
All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:
Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEYEnvironment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:
export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"Getting Your API Key
- Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
- Go to maton.ai/settings
- Copy your API key
Connection Management
Manage your Notion OAuth connections at https://api.maton.ai.
List Connections
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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))
EOFCreate Connection

Delete Connection
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json

req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOFSpecifying 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://api.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', '{connection_id}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOFIf you have multiple connections, always include this header to ensure requests go to the intended account.
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"}
]
}Security & Permissions
- Access is scoped to pages, databases, blocks, users, and search within the connected Notion account.
- All write operations require explicit user approval. Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.

'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`,

)Notes
- All IDs are UUIDs (with or without hyphens)
- Use
GET /databases/{id}to get thedata_sourcesarray containing data source IDs - Creating databases requires
POST /databasesendpoint - Delete blocks returns the block with
archived: true - IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use
curl -gwhen URLs contain brackets (fields[],sort[],records[]) to disable glob parsing - IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to
jqor other commands, environment variables like$MATON_API_KEYmay not expand correctly in some shell environments. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping.
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
- Check that the
MATON_API_KEYenvironment variable is set:
echo $MATON_API_KEY- Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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))
EOFTroubleshooting: Invalid App Name
- Ensure your URL path starts with
notion. For example:
- Correct:
https://api.maton.ai/notion/v1/search - Incorrect:
https://api.maton.ai/v1/search
