How to find a page id? How to list all pages? What are blocks?

[ChrisDelClea]

Hi Guys,

this is more of a question i have. I got started and tried the one example to display the users.
That worked fine. However, after that i tried to find a notion page by it's id.
So my first question, where to find that page_id ? I thought about it's the hash value on the link
of the notion page (however, in the example it includes - and in the hash not.

After that, i just wanted to list all pages that are available, how to do that?
I could not find anything like notion.pages.list() .

Last but not least, and more of a general understanding question what are blocks?
How to see what blocks are saved?

Sorry if this questions are to simple for you, peeps.

Cheers
Chris

So my first question, where to find that page_id?

Read this #31 and also this.

I just wanted to list all pages that are available, how to do that?

As far as I know, the official API does not allow that. Listing is available for users and databases. The official pages endpoint offers 3 features - retrieve, create, update. (at the time when this answer is being written)

what are blocks?

From Notion HQ: “A block is any single piece of content you add to your page, like a to-do item, an image, a code block, an embedded file, etc. Think of your page as being made up of these building blocks.”

Hi, @aahnik what's the closest way to list pages then? Via search API?

A page is also a block, so if you have a parent page and you want the child pages, you can use the https://api.notion.com/v1/blocks/{block_id}/children endpoint, using the page id as the block id.
