Notion Markdown Exporter with Python Cli
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need to export Notion content to Markdown and can accept dormant maintenance. The package is stable, has low install friction, no known vulnerabilities, and works with Python 3.7 through 3.12. However, the last release was 2024-01-10; if you encounter bugs or need support for newer Notion API features, you may need to fork or patch it yourself.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a valid Notion integration token set via NOTION_TOKEN environment variable or passed via --token CLI option.
- Low install friction with only two runtime dependencies (notion-client and cleo).
- Maintenance is dormant—last release was 2024-01-10—so expect no active bug fixes or feature updates, though the repository remains public and unarchived.

What it is and what it does
Notion2md is a command-line tool and Python library that converts Notion pages and blocks into Markdown format using the official Notion API. It can export content as standalone Markdown files or return it as a string, and optionally download embedded images and files to a local directory. The tool is built on notion-client (the official Notion SDK for Python) and cleo for CLI functionality.
You use it either as a shell command with options like --download and --unzipped, or programmatically by instantiating MarkdownExporter or StringExporter with a block ID and output path. It's designed for workflows where you want to extract Notion content for use in static site generators, blogs, or local documentation systems.
Use it for
- Export Notion documentation or wiki pages to Markdown for use in static site generators like Hugo or Jekyll.
- Batch convert Notion blog drafts to Markdown for publishing to platforms that accept Markdown input.
- Back up Notion content as local Markdown files with embedded images and attachments downloaded.
- Integrate Notion as a content source in a CI/CD pipeline that processes Markdown.
- Extract structured Notion data (tables, synced blocks) into Markdown for version control or archival.
