NotionExporter

Description

NotionExporter is a Python class 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.

Usage

1. Download:

   pip install python-notion-exporter
   

2. Initialization:

   from python_notion_exporter import NotionExporter
   
   if __name__ == "__main__":
       exporter = NotionExporter(
           token_v2="YOUR_NOTION_TOKEN",
           file_token="YOUR_FILE_TOKEN",
           pages={"Page Name": "Page ID"},
           export_directory="path/to/save",
           flatten_export_file_tree=True,
           export_type=ExportType.MARKDOWN,
           current_view_export_type=ViewExportType.CURRENT_VIEW,
           include_files=True,
           recursive=True
       )
       exporter.process()
   

   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.

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.

2. Process Exports:

   exporter.process()
   

   This will initiate the export, download, and unpacking processes for the pages defined.

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
