## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Notion Database Uploader & Dataset Sync API

Upload any Apify dataset to a **Notion Database** automatically. This tool serves as the perfect bridge between Apify's extraction capabilities and your Notion workspace. It lets you funnel scraped leads, products, and articles directly into your Notion CRM.

| Feature | Description |
| --- | --- |
| 🗺️ **Simple JSON Mapping** | Map dataset fields to your Notion Database properties easily (`{"Notion Property Name": "dataset.path"}`). |
| 🔄 **Native Upsert** | Specify a deduplication key to update existing records instead of duplicating them. |
| ⚡ **Integration Ready** | Trigger automatically when another Actor finishes via Apify Integrations. |

### How do I use Notion Uploader to sync data?

1. Go to the [Notion Uploader](https://apify.com/forlex/notion-uploader) on Apify.
2. Enter your **🔑 Notion API Key** (`ntn_...`) and invite the integration to your target database.
3. Paste the **🗄️ Notion Database ID** from your database URL.
4. Enter an **💾 Apify Dataset ID** or leave blank if using as an integration.
5. Provide a JSON **🗺️ Field Mapping** to connect dataset fields to Notion columns.
6. Click **Start** to watch your Notion database fill up!

### Pricing
This Actor operates on a **Pay-Per-Event (PPE)** model. You pay **$0.002 per row** uploaded to Notion. Because this is an API integration without headless browsers, it is extremely cost-effective for large datasets!

### Input & Output Examples

**Input:**
```json
{
  "notionApiKey": "ntn_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "databaseId": "0e99d3d9ab0f45...",
  "datasetId": "W5x...",
  "fieldMapping": {
    "Title": "title",
    "Price": "price",
    "URL": "url"
  },
  "dedupeKeyField": "url",
  "maxItems": 20
}
````

**Output:**
*This actor does not output new data; it reads an existing dataset and modifies your Notion Database directly.*

### FAQ & Disclaimers

**My data isn't showing up in Notion!**
Make sure you explicitly "Invite" your Notion Integration to the specific Database you are trying to write to. (Click the three dots in the top right of your database -> Connections).

**How does Deduplication work?**
If you provide a `dedupeKeyField` (like `url`), the Uploader searches Notion for a row with that exact value before inserting. If found, it updates the existing row.

# Actor input Schema

## `notionApiKey` (type: `string`):

Your Notion internal integration secret (starts with 'ntn\_'). Make sure to invite the integration to your target database.

## `databaseId` (type: `string`):

The ID of the destination Notion database (from the URL).

## `datasetId` (type: `string`):

The ID of the dataset to upload. Leave empty to use the default dataset of the triggering run (if running as an integration).

## `fieldMapping` (type: `object`):

Map Notion property names to dataset field names. Example: {"Name": "title", "Link": "url", "Price": "price"}

## `dedupeKeyField` (type: `string`):

Optional: A dataset field name (e.g., 'url') to use for deduplication. If a row with this value already exists in the target Notion database, it will be skipped to prevent duplicates.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of items to upload.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "maxItems": 20
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "maxItems": 20
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("forlex/notion-uploader").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "maxItems": 20 }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("forlex/notion-uploader").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
