No longer works?

[jtomaszewski]

I've followed readme and here's the result I receive:

$ node index.js
info: wkhtmltopdf is installed and in PATH. 🥳🥳
info: Starting current session...
info: Removing all files in session Files Dir!!!
info: Creating directories in session Files Dir!!!
info: Starting Html Export Subroutine
error: main: Error: Something went wrong! Couldn't get the taskId.

I tried changing the corresponding line for returning the error to throw Error(Something went wrong! Couldn't get the taskId. Result from notion: ${JSON.stringify(res)});

and then I receive this:

...
error: main: Error: Something went wrong! Couldn't get the taskId. Result from notion: {"message":"Something went wrong."}

Seems like something happened with the https://www.notion.so/api/v3/enqueueTask endpoint?

It seems to be private API replicating their Export functionality? So I looked up how it works currently in the browser and the payload looks like this:

So then I changed the notion_api_utils.js source code to make the payload resemble it more:

But then I get following output:

So I look up the files in session_files and I only see tmp/data.zip which is actually a HTML page showing Access denied! error:

Does it seem like they have blocked the endpoint, at least to non-enterprise users?

Well, I checked it again manually, and they didn't. I've managed to download the file myself by repeating all the requests from the Notion tab in Chrome browser.

So perhaps there's something else that has changed, maybe the request to download the file has different authorization or URL or something.

Anyways, here's where my investigation has stopped for now; just informing the others for now.

Thank you @jtomaszewski for sharing it. Earlier they weren't expecting spaceId in /api/v3/enqueueTask, but now they do. Fixing it by providing this additional param.

Idk, for some reasons I'm unable to publish to npm. Shall look at the issue after sometime.

Even after fixing the spaceId thing, it is still not working, The zip file downloading is failing at my end.

Ok. I should've been more thorough. Actually you need to get the file_token from one of the endpoint too. (The merged CR referenced above includes this thing too).

I recently performed a run (using the code in master branch) and it ran fine: (Do note that this is v1.0.4 currently not published to npm. I've reached out the support, and hopefully I should be able to publish this new version very soon). 🤞

Published as a new package https://www.npmjs.com/package/notion-easy-export. Idk why I was unable to publish to @subhamX/notion-to-ebook. The NPM support was horrible, and I don't have any more patience to deal with their utterly stupid and delayed response. 😓

Thank you again, @jtomaszewski for initial investigation, and @furqansafdar for following this conversation.
