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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Notion to Markdown An Apify Actor that converts a single Notion page into Markdown. Optionally downloads every image referenced by the page, optimizes it with sharp (resize + re-encode to WebP/JPEG), and rewrites the Markdown so images keep working long after Notion's signed-URL expiration window. ### What it does 1. Accepts a Notion integration token and a page reference (ID, UUID, or URL). 2. Fetches the page via the Notion API. 3. Converts blocks to Markdown. 4. For each image block (if enabled): - Downloads the image. - Optimizes it (resize to `maxWidth`, re-encode to the chosen format at the chosen quality). - Stores the result in the run's key-value store. - Rewrites the Markdown reference to point at the stored copy. 5. Writes the final Markdown to the key-value store as `page.md`. 6. Emits a dataset record summarizing the run. GIFs and SVGs are stored as-is — re-encoding them would lose animation / vector data. ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Notes | | -------------------- | --------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `notionToken` | string (secret) | — | Internal integration token. The integration must be shared with the target page. | | `pageId` | string | — | Raw ID, dashed UUID, or full Notion URL. | | `downloadImages` | boolean | `true` | If off, Markdown keeps original Notion S3 URLs (which expire). | | `optimizeImages` | boolean | `true` | Passes downloaded images through sharp. | | `imageFormat` | enum | `webp` | `webp`, `jpeg`, or `original` (keeps source format, still resizes). | | `maxWidth` | integer | `2400` | Wider images are scaled down. Smaller ones are left alone. | | `quality` | integer | `85` | Encoder quality for WebP/JPEG. | | `relativeImagePaths` | boolean | `false` | If on, Markdown references `./images/` instead of a public Apify URL — useful when you want a portable bundle. | ### Output **Key-value store** - `page.md` — the converted Markdown. - `images/` — each downloaded image. **Dataset** (one record per run) ```json { "pageId": "…", "title": "…", "markdownUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/…/records/page.md", "imageCount": 5, "images": [{ "filename": "hero.webp", "url": "https://…" }], "downloadImages": true, "optimizeImages": true, "imageFormat": "webp", "relativeImagePaths": false } ```` ### Getting a Notion token 1. Visit https://www.notion.so/my-integrations and create an internal integration. 2. Copy the token (it starts with `secret_` or `ntn_`). 3. Open the Notion page you want to convert, click the `···` menu → **Connections** → add your integration. Without step 3 the Actor will get a 404 when it tries to read the page. # Actor input Schema ## `notionToken` (type: `string`): Internal integration token from https://www.notion.so/my-integrations. The integration must be shared with the page you want to convert. Leave empty to run a demo conversion against the public example page. ## `pageId` (type: `string`): The Notion page to convert. Accepts a raw page ID, a dashed UUID, or a full Notion URL (e.g. https://www.notion.so/My-Page-). ## `downloadImages` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, images referenced in the page are downloaded and stored alongside the Markdown. If disabled, the Markdown keeps the original (often expiring) Notion S3 URLs. ## `optimizeImages` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, downloaded images are passed through sharp for resizing and re-encoding. Ignored when 'Download images' is off. ## `imageFormat` (type: `string`): Format used when optimization is enabled. 'original' keeps the source format but still applies resizing. ## `maxWidth` (type: `integer`): Images wider than this are scaled down. Images smaller than this are left untouched. ## `quality` (type: `integer`): Encoding quality (1-100). Used for WebP and JPEG output. ## `relativeImagePaths` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, the Markdown references images as './images/' instead of public Apify URLs. Useful when you want a portable folder (download the entire key-value store to get a self-contained bundle). ## Actor input object example ```json { "pageId": "34acc72d794080009288cd15ea9233b7", "downloadImages": true, "optimizeImages": true, "imageFormat": "webp", "maxWidth": 2400, "quality": 85, "relativeImagePaths": false } ``` # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "pageId": "34acc72d794080009288cd15ea9233b7" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("lucen_data/notion-to-md").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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
