If you use ChatGPT or generate content often, copying and pasting into Notion becomes repetitive. In this guide, I’ll show you how to automate Notion with Python using the Notion API, so your creative output flows straight into your database—hands-free.

🔧 What You Need

• A Notion account
• A Notion database set up with the columns you want
• Notion Integration + API key
• Python 3 installed
• (Optional) ChatGPT, Midjourney, or any content generator

🧱 Set Up Your Notion Database

Create a new database in Notion with these columns:

Name	Type
Topic	Title
Script	Rich Text
Prompt	Rich Text
YouTube Title	Rich Text
Hashtags	Rich Text

🔑 Get Your Notion API Key & Database ID

1. Visit Notion Integrations and create a new integration.
2. Copy the integration token (API key).
3. Share your database with this integration.
4. Copy the Database ID from the URL.

🧠 Python Script to Automate Notion

Here’s the basic Python code you can use to post content to your Notion database:

import requests

NOTION_API_KEY = "your-secret-api-key"
DATABASE_ID = "your-database-id"

headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {NOTION_API_KEY}",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Notion-Version": "2022-06-28"
}

def create_notion_entry(title, script, prompt, yt_title, hashtags):
    data = {
        "parent": {"database_id": DATABASE_ID},
        "properties": {
            "Topic": {"title": [{"text": {"content": title}}]},
            "Script": {"rich_text": [{"text": {"content": script}}]},
            "Prompt": {"rich_text": [{"text": {"content": prompt}}]},
            "YouTube Title": {"rich_text": [{"text": {"content": yt_title}}]},
            "Hashtags": {"rich_text": [{"text": {"content": hashtags}}]}
        }
    }

    response = requests.post("https://api.notion.com/v1/pages", headers=headers, json=data)
    print(response.status_code, response.json())

# Example use
create_notion_entry(
    "When I Was Nervous",
    "Last year, I had to sing in front of my class...",
    "A cute anime-style boy standing on stage...",
    "He Was So Nervous… But He Did It!",
    "#englishstory #shorts #kidsenglish"
)
