An importer for Markdown files to Notion.so using notion-py
It provides these features over Notion.so's Markdown importer:
<img>
tags.TextBlock
sSupports Python 3.6+
pip install md2notion
python -m md2notion [token_v2] [page-url] [...markdown_path_glob_or_url]
page-url
There are also some configuration options:
--clear-previous
: If a child of the note at page-url
has the same name as what you're uploading, it will first be removed.--append
: Instead of making a new child, it will append the markdown contents to the note at page-url
--html-img
: Upload images that are memtioned in the HTML <img>
tags.pip install md2notion
from notion.client import NotionClient
from notion.block import PageBlock
from md2notion.upload import upload
client = NotionClient(token_v2="
with open("TestMarkdown.md", "r", encoding="utf-8") as mdFile: newPage = page.children.add_new(PageBlock, title="TestMarkdown Upload") upload(mdFile, newPage) #Appends the converted contents of TestMarkdown.md to newPage
If you need to process `notion-py` block descriptors after parsing from Markdown but before uploading, consider using `convert` and `uploadBlock` separately. Take a look at [`upload.py#upload()`](https://github.com/Cobertos/md2notion/blob/master/md2notion/upload.py) for more.
```python
from md2notion.upload import convert, uploadBlock
rendered = convert(mdFile)
# Process the rendered array of `notion-py` block descriptors here
# (just dicts with some properties to pass to `notion-py`)
# Upload all the blocks
for blockDescriptor in rendered:
uploadBlock(blockDescriptor, page, mdFile.name)
If you need to parse Markdown differently from the default, consider subclassing NotionPyRenderer
(a BaseRenderer
for mistletoe
). You can then pass it to upload(..., notionPyRendererCls=NotionPyRenderer)
as a parameter.
Here's an example that imports a Hexo blog (slghtly hacky).
import io
import os.path
import glob
from pathlib import Path
from notion.block import PageBlock
from notion.client import NotionClient
from md2notion.upload import upload
client = NotionClient(token_v2="<token_v2>")
page = client.get_block("https://www.notion.so/myorg/Test-c0d20a71c0944985ae96e661ccc99821")
for fp in glob.glob("../source/_posts/*.md", recursive=True):
with open(fp, "r", encoding="utf-8") as mdFile:
#Preprocess the Markdown frontmatter into yaml code fences
mdStr = mdFile.read()
mdChunks = mdStr.split("---")
mdStr = \
f"""```yaml
{mdChunks[1]}
`` `
{'---'.join(mdChunks[2:])}
"""
mdFile = io.StringIO(mdStr)
mdFile.__dict__["name"] = fp #Set this so we can resolve images later
pageName = os.path.basename(fp)[:40]
newPage = page.children.add_new(PageBlock, title=pageName)
print(f"Uploading {fp} to Notion.so at page {pageName}")
#Get the image relative to the markdown file in the flavor that Hexo
#stores its images (in a folder with the same name as the md file)
def convertImagePath(imagePath, mdFilePath):
return Path(mdFilePath).parent / Path(mdFilePath).stem / Path(imagePath)
upload(mdFile, newPage, imagePathFunc=convertImagePath)
