notion-to-md-py
A package to convert Notion content into Markdown format
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and solves a specific problem—exporting Notion content to Markdown—that has no obvious built-in alternative. The MIT license is permissive. Install it if you regularly need to extract Notion pages as Markdown; skip it if you only export occasionally or need features the Notion API doesn't support.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a Notion API key and appropriate permissions; the Notion API limits what content types and features can be exported.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution.
- Actively maintained with recent commits; last release was 95 days ago.

What it is and what it does
notion-to-md-py is a Python wrapper around the Notion API that extracts page content and converts it to Markdown format. It provides both synchronous and asynchronous interfaces, allowing you to export individual Notion pages or build batch export workflows. The package handles the translation of Notion's block-based content model into standard Markdown, making it useful for archiving, backing up, or migrating Notion content to Markdown-based systems.
The package depends on notion-client for API communication, httpx for HTTP requests, and pytablewriter for rendering Notion tables as Markdown. It requires a valid Notion API token and appropriate sharing permissions on the pages you want to export. The tool is limited by what the Notion API exposes—file downloads other than images are not supported, and complex Notion features may not translate perfectly to Markdown.
Use it for
- Back up Notion pages as Markdown files for version control or offline storage.
- Migrate Notion documentation to a static site generator or Markdown-based wiki.
- Batch export database records from Notion into individual Markdown files for processing.
- Automate Notion-to-Markdown workflows in CI/CD pipelines using the async interface.
- Convert Notion meeting notes or project pages into shareable Markdown documents.
