NotionDL

Designed to simplify the process of exporting content from Notion. It provides an interface to configure, trigger, and download content exports from Notion. The class supports exporting content in various formats (Markdown, HTML, PDF) and also allows users to choose the scope of the export (current view vs. all content).

Features

• Export content in Markdown, HTML, or PDF format.
• Configure the scope of your export: current view or all content.
• Option to include or exclude files in the export.
• Flatten the file tree structure upon export.
• Export multiple pages concurrently for faster processing.
• Monitor export progress with a progress bar.
• Automatically unpack zipped export files.

Installation

pip install notiondl

Usage

CLI

python -m notiondl <PAGE_ID> -t <EXPORT_TYPE> --no-file -v

Avaialbe Options

Argument	Description
PAGE_ID (required)	The ID of the Notion page you want to export. Separate multiple pages with commas.
-d, --export-dir	The directory to export the page to. Defaults to the current directory.

You can set whether NOTION_TOKEN_V2 and NOTION_FILE_TOKEN environment variables or providing these as CLI arguments.
--token-v2	The token_v2 cookie value from your Notion session.
--file-token	The file-token cookie value from your Notion session.

Python

import notiondl

exporter = notiondl.NotionExporter(
    token_v2="<TOKEN>",
    file_token="<FILE_TOKEN>",
    pages={"index.html": "<PAGE_ID>"},
    export_directory="test",
    flatten_export_file_tree=True,
    export_type=notiondl.ExportType.HTML,
    current_view_export_type=notiondl.ViewExportType.CURRENT_VIEW,
    include_files=True,
    recursive=True,
    rewrite=True,
)
exporter.export()

Requirements

In case of CLI, you have to set NOTION_TOKEN_V2 and NOTION_FILE_TOKEN environment variables. You will need to get the token_v2 and file_token values from your Notion cookies. The pages dictionary should contain pairs of page_name: page_id for each page you want to export. page_name can be anything and would be used for the final downloaded file name.

Needed Cookies

To export anything from Notion, one needs to authenticate oneself with some Cookies (like a browser would). These cookies are called token_v2 and file_token. They are set on all requests of a logged in user when using the Notion web-app.

How to retrieve the Cookies?

• Go to notion.so.
• Log in with your account.
• Open the developer tools of your browser, open Application > Storage > Cookies (Chrome); Storage tab (Firefox).
• Copy the value of the Cookies called token_v2 and file_token and paste them somewhere safe.
• ⚠️ If you don't find file_token, you need to have at least had exported a file manually once.
• Those cookies have a 1 year validity, so you don't need to do this often.
