Where can I find my database's ID?

Here's a quick procedure to find the database ID for a specific database in Notion:

Open the database as a full page in Notion. Use the Share menu to Copy link. Now paste the link in your text editor so you can take a closer look. The URL uses the following format:

https://www.notion.so/{workspace_name}/{database_id}?v={view_id}

Find the part that corresponds to {database_id} in the URL you pasted. It is a 36 character long string. This value is your database ID.
Note that when you receive the database ID from the API, e.g. the search endpoint, it will contain hyphens in the UUIDv4 format. You may use either the hyphenated or un-hyphenated ID when calling the API.

How do I get a notion inline database ID?

What is a notion inline database?

A Notion Inline Database is a special type of database that is embedded within a Notion page. Unlike a regular database, an Inline Database allows you to create and view entries on the same page, without having to switch between different views. As a result, it is much easier and faster to view, edit, and manage data in an Inline Database.

What problems do you encounter if you use the notion inline database ID?

Using the Notion Inline Database ID can lead to some limitations when using the Notion API, due to the page URL structure not including the database ID. This means that the database ID won't be visible for you in the page URL structure. But don't worry, just follow the following steps.

Specific steps on how to get a notion inline database ID

Real life example of how notion database id can be used with the notion api

Using the Notion API, you can access the Database ID and use it to perform operations on the database. For example, you can use the Database ID to query a list of specific database entries based on properties like name, description, etc.

You can also use the Database ID to get a list of all entries in a database, as well as add, update, and delete entries. Additionally, you can use the Database ID to create and manage custom views on databases.

Let's try to add a page to the example database above. The endpoint has two required parameters: parent and properties.

When adding a page to a database, the parent parameter must be a database parent. We can build this object for the example database. Your code should looks like this:

{
  "type": "database_id",
  "database_id": "2f26ee68-df30-4251-aad4-8ddc420cba3d"
}
