1.[Personal Website] How to Use Notion as a Database for Full-Stack Development

Preparation

• Sign up for Notion: Ensure you have a Notion account and have already created some database pages.

• Obtain Notion API Token: Go to the Notion Developer Page, create a new integration, and get the API Token.

Configuration Steps

Get Notion API Key

1. Go to the Notion Integration Page, sign up or log in to your account. Access Notion Integration: https://www.notion.so/profile/integrations

1. Create a New Integration:

• Click the “New integration” button

• Enter a name for the integration, such as “Travel Guide Website”

• Select the workspace

• After submitting, you will receive an “Internal Integration Token.” Save this token for future API calls.

Create a Notion Database

1. Create a New Page:
• Open Notion, click “New Page” in the left menu to create a new page.

2. Add a Database:
• In the new page, select “Table” to create a new database.
• Name this database “Blog.”

3. Configure Database Columns:
• Title: Blog post title
• Content: Blog content
• Author: Author name
• Tags: Tags (multi-select)
• Published Date: Date of publication
• Cover Image: Cover image URL
• Status: Status (draft, published)

Share the Database with the Integration

1. Open your Notion database page.

2. Click the “Share” button in the top right.

3. In the “Invite” field, enter the name of the integration you just created, or find it under the “connect” section.

4. Click “Invite” to grant the integration access to the database.

Get the Database ID

1. Open your Notion database page.

2. Copy the database ID from the browser’s address bar. • The database ID appears in the URL right after “www.notion.so/”, for example, https://www.notion.so/yourworkspace/abcdefgh1234567890, where abcdefgh1234567890 is your database ID.
