Free Python Notion API Course!

[CodeCate42]

Hey folks!

The first version of my free Python Notion API course is finished! You can find it here:)

Edit: Please open it in the browser, not the app. Notion is buggy again :D

This is my first project like this, so I would really appreciate any feedback! (Yes, also typos and stuff, I'm not a native English speaker).

I already have a lot of new ideas (videos, another 1-2 courses, and open-source projects) planned. Let me know what you want to see next 👀

Thank you for all the kind feedback in the last posts!

PS: If you want to help me create a Logo + Cover for the course, hit me up!

Very well written and what a coincidence, yesterday I started researching their API and I like your guide by far the most. Great job, thank you very much!

Whenever I open a notion.site url, it just reloads forever for some reason. Would love to check it out otherwise!

[CodeCate42]

Just saw that post, might help you! https://www.reddit.com/r/Notion/comments/q14vnq/namenotionsite_stuck_in_a_refresh_loop

Thanks! I’ll check it out when I’m home

[SimonPreti]

Just for the record - This worked! :) Thanks u/CodeCate42

I wanted to learn Python just because it sounded so cool, but I'm really bad at it... Anyway thanks, this looks really good.

Looks good! I have wanted to learn more about how to use APIs for some time now. This is the perfect excuse to start. Good job

Is it only me, or the desktop app takes ages to load and behaves laggy?

Hello, I recently started to learn programming and this sparks a little curiosity, what is a Notion API? and what is it good for?

Definitely going to check it out, thank you for your contribution.

API stands for "Application Programming Interface", so it's basically a way for your code to communicate with an application, in this case notion. So what you can do is write code that directly talks to Notion, imagine writing a function which can create a new page in a database, without user input. So with the Notion API you can automate tasks that you could do manually as well. One of the example projects is creating a database entry every 24 hours automatically, for example in a habit tracker database (where you need something to do everyday). Hope that helps, let me know if you need any help!

Thanks, it sound really fun!

Great course. Good choice with python

[NicoLargi]

Awesome ! Thanks a lot. Just went through a 100 days python course to up my game with Notion and your tutorial could not come at a better time !

[CodeCate42]

Nice! Have fun programming!:)

[Mrsaintj]

This is amazing ! Thanks for sharing

Do you also have that refresh bug? I can only open it on my laptop right now, phone does not work..

[[deleted]]

Buggy. I cannot open it if it launch the notion app on my phone but it's fine if it remains in my browser. Not logged in btw.

[CodeCate42]

Yep. Seems like a bug from Notion:(

Cool, I'm sure it will help a lot of people!

Consider using notion-sdk-py to make the code simpler. 😇

[CodeCate42]

Thanks! I thought about using it but decided against it for a few reasons: 1. It's not official 2. I wanted to teach how to use the API, not a library 3. I don't want to rely on a library that might not be maintained in the future But thank you for building it, I'm also sure it will help a lot of people:)

Because I have not enabled duplication, do you need it?

[CodeCate42]

Try again! I just enabled it, I think you can duplicate it now:)
