+
+## Installation & Setup
+
+### 1. Install NotionHelper
+
+```bash
+pip install notionhelper
+```
+
+### 2. Create a Notion Integration
+
+1. Go to [https://www.notion.so/my-integrations](https://www.notion.so/my-integrations)
+2. Click **"+ New integration"**
+3. Give it a name (e.g., "My Python App")
+4. Select the workspace where you want to use it
+5. Copy the **"Internal Integration Secret"** (your API token)
+
+### 3. Share Your Notion Pages/Databases
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Your integration can only access pages and databases that have been explicitly shared with it.
+
+To share a page or database:
+1. Open the page/database in Notion
+2. Click the **"Share"** button in the top-right
+3. Click **"Invite"**
+4. Search for your integration name
+5. Click **"Invite"**
+
+### 4. Store Your Token Securely
+
+It's best practice to store your token as an environment variable:
+
+**On macOS/Linux:**
+```bash
+export NOTION_TOKEN="secret_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
+```
+
+**On Windows (PowerShell):**
+```powershell
+$env:NOTION_TOKEN="secret_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
+```
+
+**Or use a `.env` file:**
+```
+NOTION_TOKEN=secret_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+```
+
+### 5. Initialize NotionHelper
+
+```python
+import os
+from notionhelper import NotionHelper
+
+# Get token from environment variable
+notion_token = os.getenv("NOTION_TOKEN")
+
+# Initialize the helper
+helper = NotionHelper(notion_token)
+```
+

+
+## Understanding Notion's Structure
+
+### API Version 2025-09-03 Changes
+
+With the latest Notion API, the structure has changed:
+
+```
+Page (Parent)
+  └── Database (Container)
+       ├── Data Source 1 (Table with schema/properties)
+       │    ├── Page 1
+       │    ├── Page 2
+       │    └── Page 3
+       └── Data Source 2 (Another table)
+            ├── Page 1
+            └── Page 2
+```
+
+**Key Concepts:**
+- **Database**: A container that holds one or more data sources
+- **Data Source**: A table with a specific schema (columns/properties)
+- **Page**: Individual rows in a data source, or standalone pages
+
+**Important IDs:**
+- `database_id`: Points to the container
+- `data_source_id`: Points to a specific table (where you add pages)
+- `page_id`: Points to individual pages
+
+---
+
+## Basic Operations
+
+### Finding IDs in Notion
+
+**To get a page, database, or data source ID:**
+
+1. Open the item in Notion
+2. Look at the URL in your browser:
+   ```
+   https://www.notion.so/My-Page-1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef
+                                  └── This is the ID ──────────┘
+   ```
+3. The ID is the 32-character string at the end (without hyphens)
+4. Format with hyphens: `12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890abcdef`
+
+### Searching for Pages and Databases
+
+```python
+# Search for all pages
+pages = helper.notion_search_db(query="", filter_object_type="page")
+for page in pages:
+    print(f"Page: {page['id']}")
+
+# Search for data sources
+data_sources = helper.notion_search_db(query="", filter_object_type="data_source")
+for ds in data_sources:
+    print(f"Data Source: {ds['id']}")
+
+# Search with a specific query
+results = helper.notion_search_db(query="Project Tasks", filter_object_type="page")
+```
+
+---
+
+## Working with Databases
+
+### Retrieve a Database
+
+```python
+# Get the database container
+database_id = "12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890abcdef"
+database = helper.get_database(database_id)
+
+print(f"Database Title: {database['title'][0]['plain_text']}")
+print(f"Number of Data Sources: {len(database['data_sources'])}")
+
+# List all data sources in the database
+for ds in database['data_sources']:
+    print(f"Data Source ID: {ds['id']}")
+    print(f"Data Source Type: {ds['type']}")
+```
+
+### Create a New Database
+
+```python
+# Define the parent page where the database will be created
+parent_page_id = "your-parent-page-id"
+
+# Define the database properties (schema)
+properties = {
+    "Task Name": {"title": {}},  # This will be the title column
+    "Status": {
+        "select": {
+            "options": [
+                {"name": "Not Started", "color": "red"},
+                {"name": "In Progress", "color": "yellow"},
+                {"name": "Done", "color": "green"}
+            ]
+        }
+    },
+    "Due Date": {"date": {}},
+    "Priority": {
+        "select": {
+            "options": [
+                {"name": "Low", "color": "gray"},
+                {"name": "Medium", "color": "blue"},
+                {"name": "High", "color": "red"}
+            ]
+        }
+    },
+    "Notes": {"rich_text": {}}
+}
+
+# Create the database
+new_db = helper.create_database(
+    parent_page_id=parent_page_id,
+    database_title="My Task Database",
+    initial_data_source_properties=properties,
+    initial_data_source_title="Main Tasks"
+)
+
+print(f"Created Database ID: {new_db['id']}")
+print(f"Initial Data Source ID: {new_db['initial_data_source']['id']}")
+
+# Save the data source ID for adding pages later
+data_source_id = new_db['initial_data_source']['id']
+```
+
+---
+
+## Working with Data Sources
+
+### Retrieve a Data Source Schema
+
+```python
+data_source_id = "your-data-source-id"
+data_source = helper.get_data_source(data_source_id)
+
+print(f"Data Source Title: {data_source['title'][0]['plain_text']}")
+print("\nProperties (Columns):")
+for prop_name, prop_data in data_source['properties'].items():
+    prop_type = prop_data['type']
+    print(f"  - {prop_name}: {prop_type}")
+```
+
+### Update a Data Source
+
+#### Rename a Column
+
+```python
+data_source_id = "your-data-source-id"
+
+updated = helper.update_data_source(
+    data_source_id,
+    properties={
+        "Old Column Name": {
+            "name": "New Column Name"
+        }
+    }
+)
+print("Column renamed successfully!")
+```
+
+#### Add a New Column
+
+```python
+updated = helper.update_data_source(
+    data_source_id,
+    properties={
+        "Email": {"email": {}},  # Add an email column
+        "Phone": {"phone_number": {}},  # Add a phone column
+        "Completed": {"checkbox": {}}  # Add a checkbox column
+    }
+)
+print("New columns added!")
+```
+
+#### Remove a Column
+
+```python
+updated = helper.update_data_source(
+    data_source_id,
+    properties={
+        "Column To Remove": None  # Set to None to remove
+    }
+)
+print("Column removed!")
+```
+
+#### Update Select Options
+
+```python
+updated = helper.update_data_source(
+    data_source_id,
+    properties={
+        "Status": {
+            "select": {
+                "options": [
+                    {"name": "Backlog", "color": "gray"},
+                    {"name": "To Do", "color": "red"},
+                    {"name": "In Progress", "color": "yellow"},
+                    {"name": "Review", "color": "blue"},
+                    {"name": "Done", "color": "green"}
+                ]
+            }
+        }
+    }
+)
+print("Select options updated!")
+```
+
+---
+
+## Working with Pages
+
+### Create a New Page (Row)
+
+**Basic Example:**
+
+```python
+data_source_id = "your-data-source-id"
+
+# Define the page properties
+page_properties = {
+    "Task Name": {  # Title property
+        "title": [
+            {
+                "text": {
+                    "content": "Complete project documentation"
+                }
+            }
+        ]
+    },
+    "Status": {  # Select property
+        "select": {
+            "name": "In Progress"
+        }
+    },
+    "Due Date": {  # Date property
+        "date": {
+            "start": "2025-12-31"
+        }
+    },
+    "Priority": {  # Select property
+        "select": {
+            "name": "High"
+        }
+    },
+    "Notes": {  # Rich text property
+        "rich_text": [
+            {
+                "text": {
+                    "content": "Need to update README and add examples"
+                }
+            }
+        ]
+    }
+}
+
+# Create the page
+new_page = helper.new_page_to_data_source(data_source_id, page_properties)
+page_id = new_page['id']
+print(f"Created page with ID: {page_id}")
+```
+
+**Property Type Examples:**
+
+```python
+# Number
+"Age": {
+    "number": 25
+}
+
+# Checkbox

+    "multi_select": [
+        {"name": "Urgent"},
+        {"name": "Bug"},
+        {"name": "Frontend"}
+    ]
+}
+
+# Date with end date (range)
+"Event Period": {
+    "date": {
+        "start": "2025-01-01",
+        "end": "2025-01-07"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Retrieve a Page
+
+```python
+page_id = "your-page-id"
+page_data = helper.get_page(page_id)
+
+# Access properties
+properties = page_data['properties']
+print(f"Properties: {properties}")
+
+# Access page content blocks
+content = page_data['content']
+print(f"Number of blocks: {len(content)}")
+```
+
+### Add Content to a Page
+
+```python
+page_id = "your-page-id"
+
+# Define blocks to add
+blocks = [
+    {
+        "object": "block",
+        "type": "heading_1",
+        "heading_1": {
+            "rich_text": [

+        }
+    }
+]
+
+# Append blocks to the page
+helper.append_page_body(page_id, blocks)
+print("Content added to page successfully!")
+```
+
+---
+
+## File Operations
+
+### Upload and Attach a File
+
+**Method 1: Two-step process**
+
+```python
+# Step 1: Upload the file
+file_path = "/path/to/document.pdf"
+upload_response = helper.upload_file(file_path)
+file_upload_id = upload_response['id']
+
+# Step 2: Attach to a page
+page_id = "your-page-id"
+attach_response = helper.attach_file_to_page(page_id, file_upload_id)
+print("File attached successfully!")
+```
+
+**Method 2: One-step process (recommended)**
+
+```python
+page_id = "your-page-id"
+file_path = "/path/to/document.pdf"
+
+response = helper.one_step_file_to_page(page_id, file_path)
+print("File uploaded and attached in one step!")
+```
+
+### Upload and Embed an Image
+
+```python
+page_id = "your-page-id"
+image_path = "/path/to/image.png"
+
+response = helper.one_step_image_embed(page_id, image_path)
+print("Image embedded in page!")
+```
+
+### Attach File to a Property
+
+Some databases have a "Files & Media" property where you can attach files.
+
+```python
+page_id = "your-page-id"
+property_name = "Attachments"  # Name of your Files & Media property
+file_path = "/path/to/document.pdf"
+file_name = "Project Document.pdf"  # Display name
+
+response = helper.one_step_file_to_page_property(
+    page_id,
+    property_name,
+    file_path,
+    file_name
+)
+print("File attached to property!")
+```
+
+### Upload Multiple Files to a Property
+
+```python
+page_id = "your-page-id"
+property_name = "Documents"
+file_paths = [
+    "/path/to/document1.pdf",
+    "/path/to/document2.docx",
+    "/path/to/image.png"
+]
+
+response = helper.upload_multiple_files_to_property(page_id, property_name, file_paths)
+print(f"Uploaded {len(file_paths)} files!")
+```
+
+---
+
+## Data Retrieval & Analysis
+
+### Get All Page IDs from a Data Source
+
+```python
+data_source_id = "your-data-source-id"
+page_ids = helper.get_data_source_page_ids(data_source_id)
+
+print(f"Found {len(page_ids)} pages:")
+for page_id in page_ids:
+    print(f"  - {page_id}")
+```
+
+### Get All Pages as JSON
+
+```python
+data_source_id = "your-data-source-id"
+
+# Get all pages
+all_pages = helper.get_data_source_pages_as_json(data_source_id)
+
+# Get only first 10 pages
+limited_pages = helper.get_data_source_pages_as_json(data_source_id, limit=10)
+
+print(f"Retrieved {len(all_pages)} pages")
+print(f"First page properties: {all_pages[0]}")
+```
+
+### Get All Pages as Pandas DataFrame
+
+**This is perfect for data analysis!**
+
+```python
+import pandas as pd
+
+data_source_id = "your-data-source-id"
+
+# Get all pages as a DataFrame
+df = helper.get_data_source_pages_as_dataframe(data_source_id)
+
+print(df.head())
+print(f"\nDataFrame shape: {df.shape}")
+print(f"Columns: {df.columns.tolist()}")
+```
+
+**With pagination:**
+
+```python
+# Get only first 50 pages
+df = helper.get_data_source_pages_as_dataframe(data_source_id, limit=50)
+
+# Get pages without IDs
+df = helper.get_data_source_pages_as_dataframe(
+    data_source_id,
+    include_page_ids=False
+)
+```
+
+**Data Analysis Example:**
+
+```python
+# Get the data
+df = helper.get_data_source_pages_as_dataframe(data_source_id)
+
+# Filter completed tasks
+completed = df[df['Status'] == 'Done']
+print(f"Completed tasks: {len(completed)}")
+
+# Group by status
+status_counts = df['Status'].value_counts()
+print("\nTasks by status:")
+print(status_counts)
+
+# Find high priority tasks
+high_priority = df[df['Priority'] == 'High']
+print(f"\nHigh priority tasks: {len(high_priority)}")
+
+# Export to CSV
+df.to_csv('notion_tasks.csv', index=False)
+print("Exported to CSV!")

+## Complete Example: Task Manager
+
+Here's a complete example that creates a task management system:
+
+```python
+import os
+from notionhelper import NotionHelper
+from datetime import datetime, timedelta
+
+# Initialize
+notion_token = os.getenv("NOTION_TOKEN")
+helper = NotionHelper(notion_token)
+
+# 1. Create a task database
+parent_page_id = "your-parent-page-id"
+
+properties = {
+    "Task": {"title": {}},
+    "Status": {
+        "select": {
+            "options": [
+                {"name": "Backlog", "color": "gray"},
+                {"name": "To Do", "color": "red"},
+                {"name": "In Progress", "color": "yellow"},
+                {"name": "Done", "color": "green"}
+            ]
+        }
+    },
+    "Priority": {
+        "select": {
+            "options": [
+                {"name": "Low", "color": "gray"},
+                {"name": "Medium", "color": "blue"},
+                {"name": "High", "color": "red"}
+            ]
+        }
+    },
+    "Due Date": {"date": {}},
+    "Assignee": {"rich_text": {}},
+    "Completed": {"checkbox": {}}
+}
+
+db = helper.create_database(
+    parent_page_id=parent_page_id,
+    database_title="Team Tasks",
+    initial_data_source_properties=properties
+)
+
+data_source_id = db['initial_data_source']['id']
+print(f"Created database with data source: {data_source_id}")
+
+# 2. Add some tasks
+tasks = [
+    {
+        "Task": "Design homepage mockup",
+        "Status": "In Progress",
+        "Priority": "High",
+        "Due Date": (datetime.now() + timedelta(days=3)).strftime("%Y-%m-%d"),
+        "Assignee": "Alice",
+        "Completed": False
+    },
+    {
+        "Task": "Write API documentation",
+        "Status": "To Do",
+        "Priority": "Medium",
+        "Due Date": (datetime.now() + timedelta(days=7)).strftime("%Y-%m-%d"),
+        "Assignee": "Bob",
+        "Completed": False
+    },
+    {
+        "Task": "Set up CI/CD pipeline",
+        "Status": "Done",
+        "Priority": "High",
+        "Due Date": (datetime.now() - timedelta(days=2)).strftime("%Y-%m-%d"),
+        "Assignee": "Charlie",
+        "Completed": True
+    }
+]
+
+for task in tasks:
+    page_props = {
+        "Task": {
+            "title": [{"text": {"content": task["Task"]}}]
+        },
+        "Status": {
+            "select": {"name": task["Status"]}
+        },
+        "Priority": {
+            "select": {"name": task["Priority"]}
+        },
+        "Due Date": {
+            "date": {"start": task["Due Date"]}
+        },
+        "Assignee": {
+            "rich_text": [{"text": {"content": task["Assignee"]}}]
+        },
+        "Completed": {
+            "checkbox": task["Completed"]
+        }
+    }
+
+    new_page = helper.new_page_to_data_source(data_source_id, page_props)
+    print(f"Created task: {task['Task']}")
+
+# 3. Retrieve and analyze
+df = helper.get_data_source_pages_as_dataframe(data_source_id)
+print("\n=== Task Summary ===")
+print(f"Total tasks: {len(df)}")
+print(f"\nBy Status:")
+print(df['Status'].value_counts())
+print(f"\nBy Priority:")
+print(df['Priority'].value_counts())
+print(f"\nCompleted: {df['Completed'].sum()}")
+print(f"In Progress: {len(df[df['Status'] == 'In Progress'])}")
+```
+

+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Bulk Add Pages
+
+```python
+import pandas as pd
+
+# Read from CSV
+df = pd.read_csv('tasks.csv')
+
+for _, row in df.iterrows():
+    page_props = {
+        "Task": {
+            "title": [{"text": {"content": str(row['task_name'])}}]
+        },
+        "Status": {
+            "select": {"name": str(row['status'])}
+        },
+        "Priority": {
+            "select": {"name": str(row['priority'])}
+        }
+    }
+
+    helper.new_page_to_data_source(data_source_id, page_props)
+    print(f"Added: {row['task_name']}")
+```
+
+### Sync Data Between Notion and CSV
+
+```python
+# Export from Notion
+df = helper.get_data_source_pages_as_dataframe(data_source_id)
+df.to_csv('notion_export.csv', index=False)
+print("Exported to CSV")
+
+# Import to Notion
+df = pd.read_csv('import_data.csv')
+for _, row in df.iterrows():
+    # Create page from row data
+    pass
+```
+
+### Update Multiple Pages
+
+```python
+# Get all pages
+page_ids = helper.get_data_source_page_ids(data_source_id)
+
+# Note: There's no built-in batch update in the current version
+# You would need to update pages individually using the Notion API
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Errors
+
+**1. "object not found"**
+- Make sure you've shared the page/database with your integration
+- Check that the ID is correct
+
+**2. "body failed validation"**
+- Check property names match exactly (case-sensitive)
+- Verify property types match the schema
+- Ensure select options exist in the database
+
+**3. "Unauthorized"**
+- Check your API token is correct
+- Make sure the token is properly set in environment variables
+
+**4. "Could not find database"**
+- You might be using a `database_id` instead of a `data_source_id`
+- Get the data source ID from the database object
+
+### Best Practices
+
+1. **Always use environment variables for tokens**
+2. **Share resources with your integration before accessing**
+3. **Use data_source_id when creating pages, not database_id**
+4. **Handle errors with try-except blocks**
+5. **Test with a single page before bulk operations**
+6. **Use limit parameter when testing to avoid retrieving too much data**
