# Notion API for AI Agents

Notion is a connected workspace for creating, organizing, and collaborating on documents, databases, wikis, and project management workflows. Call the Notion API from the agent stack you already run. Swytchcode supplies the manifest, then handles authentication, retries, idempotency, and validation on every call.

## What can you build with the Notion API?

1. Call Notion directly from an AI agent without writing custom auth, retry, or error-handling code.
2. Get the right endpoints and call sequence for the workflow you need, instead of having the agent explore the Notion API surface.
3. Chain Notion with other approved integrations in one workflow, each step validated against your policy before it runs.
4. Give an agent safe read/write access to Notion in production, with idempotent retries if a call fails.

## How to connect the Notion API to an AI agent

Four steps, no SDK, no boilerplate. Every Notion call routed through Swytchcode is idempotency-keyed and safe to retry.

1. **Install the CLI**  
   Run "npx swytchcode" to install the Swytchcode CLI—no account required to start.

2. **Pull the manifest**  
   Run "swytchcode get notion" to pull the Notion API manifest, including its schema and available actions.

3. **Authenticate once**  
   Provide your Notion API credentials a single time. Swytchcode stores and refreshes them so your agent never handles raw secrets.

4. **Call it from your agent**  
   Run "swytchcode exec notion.<action> --key value" from any agent or script. No SDK, no framework lock-in.

```bash
swytchcode get notion
swytchcode exec notion.<action> --key value
```
