I am going to use python to track my wish list of film from the other website. Now I want to give every film some different tags. But notion reference told me
Multi-select property value objects contain an array of multi-select option values within the multi_select property.
So, i want to know how to add tag by notionAPI. or how to create a database with a tag template.
Let's say your tags property is named "Tags":
curl -X POST https://api.notion.com/v1/pages \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${API_KEY}" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Notion-Version: 2021-05-13" \
--data '{
"parent": { "database_id": "'${DATABASE_ID}'" },
"properties": {
"Name": {
"title": [
{
"text": {
"content": "'${NAME}'"
}
}
]
},
"Tags": {
"multi_select": [
{"name": "'${TAG}'"}
]
}
}
}'
Note that you must pre-populate the tag names in your database field prior to adding or you will get the following error:
{"object":"error","status":400,"code":"validation_error","message":"dcp[ is an invalid select option \"TAG NAME\"."
For Notion-Version: 2021-08-16', It is able to add Tags in muitl-select form via Notion api.
curl -X POST 'https://api.notion.com/v1/pages' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer ''' \
-H 'Notion-Version: 2021-08-16' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{"parent": { "database_id": "" }, "properties": {"Name": {"title": [{"text": {"content": "Tuscan Kale"} } ] }, "Picture": {"files": [{"name": "000150748673-ofnuhb-t500x500.jpg", "type": "external", "external": {"url": "https://www.yan.sg/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/frc-1c8ef3940bf852e32c300ee2feb9a53b-218x150.jpg"} }] }, "Status": {"multi_select": [{"name": "Rainbow Grocery", "color": "gray"}]}}}'
Select values can now be dynamically created - Notion developers
As far as I know, there's no way to create new select or multi-select option in the current Notion API version (2021-05-13). But the good news is, an unofficial python library can do this.
notion-py is an unofficial Python API client that implements notion operation by simulating the user's http request behavior. When you create or update a page in the database, it can add new options if some of the options in select or multi-select doesn't exist.
