Notion

Notion is an all-in-one workspace that combines notes, tasks, wikis, and databases. The Notion API allows developers to integrate Notion with other tools and build custom applications on top of Notion's platform.

agent native

Reference-quality API operations across every facet — a rich contract, published governance, transparent operations, and machine-readable commercial terms.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Notion the way a machine reads it — 64 machine-readable artifacts across 6 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Notion scores 79.2/100 (exemplar), with a separate agent-readiness read of 87/100 (agent native). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Notion

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Notion. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 6

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Notion Blocks API

Blocks are the fundamental units of content in Notion. Every page is composed of blocks, which can be paragraphs, headings, images, tables, lists, and many other types. Blocks c...

Notion Comments API

Comments allow integrations to read and create comments on pages and blocks within Notion. Comments support rich text content and are associated with discussion threads.

Notion Databases API

Databases are collections of Notion pages organized with a shared schema of properties. Each database defines columns (properties) that all its pages share. Databases support fi...

Notion Pages API

Pages represent documents in Notion workspaces. They can exist as standalone pages or as entries within a database. Pages contain properties (metadata) and content composed of b...

Notion Search API

Search allows querying across all pages and databases that the integration has access to. Results can be filtered by object type and sorted by relevance or last edited time.

Notion Users API

Users represent people or bots in a Notion workspace. Person users are human members of the workspace, while bot users represent API integrations. Use these endpoints to list us...

Postman Collections 1

A runnable collection turns the contract into something a developer can execute in seconds. We profile them because the fastest way to trust an API is to make a real call against it.

Ready-to-run Postman collections for exercising this provider's APIs.

Notion API

POSTMAN

Open Collections 1

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).

Arazzo Workflows 11

Real integrations are rarely a single call. Arazzo describes the multi-step sequences — auth, then create, then confirm — so both a human and an agent can follow the choreography, not just the endpoints.

Multi-step API workflows described with the Arazzo specification.

Notion Edit and Optionally Delete a Page Block

List a page's blocks, update the first block's text, then optionally archive it based on a flag.

ARAZZO

Notion Reply to an Existing Comment Thread

List a page's unresolved comments, then reply into the existing discussion or start a new one.

ARAZZO

Notion Create a Database, Seed a Page, and Add Content

Stand up a new Notion database under a page, add a first entry, then fill that entry with content blocks.

ARAZZO

Notion Create a Page and Read Back Its Content

Create a standalone page with content blocks, then retrieve that page's block children.

ARAZZO

Notion Sync a Row into a Database Data Source

Discover a database by title, read its schema, then add a new page row whose properties conform to it.

ARAZZO

Notion Export a Database Record with Its Content

Read a database schema, query its first record, then pull that record's page content blocks.

ARAZZO

Notion Evolve a Database Schema and Re-Query

Retrieve a database, add a property to its schema, then query it back to confirm the change.

ARAZZO

Notion Audit a Single Page Property

Retrieve a page, then fetch one named property item from it in full (including paginated values).

ARAZZO

Notion Query a Database and Update a Matched Page

Query a database with a filter, retrieve the first matching page, then update its properties.

ARAZZO

Notion Search for a Page and Comment on It

Search the workspace by title for a page, then leave a comment on the first matching page.

ARAZZO

Notion Resolve a Workspace User Directory

Identify the integration bot, list workspace users, then retrieve the first user in detail.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

GraphQL 1

Where a provider ships GraphQL, the schema is the contract. We profile it alongside the REST surface so the whole interface is legible in one place.

GraphQL schemas published by this provider.

Notion GraphQL

Notion does not expose a public GraphQL endpoint. Notion's public API is a versioned REST API (`api.notion.com/v1`). The GraphQL schema in `notion-schema.graphql` is a comprehen...

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

Notion Rate Limits

3 limits

RATE LIMITS

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

Event Specifications 1

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

Semantic Vocabularies 1

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

Security Posture 4

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
