notion-pdf-exporter

This is a little workaround to automate the export of multiple URLs from Notion using puppeteer.js to emulate a user's navigation.

How to use

Before starting to use this project, like every workaround created in a few hours, there is an effort to configure the Notion authentication token, the other cookies and map the URLs to be exported.

Git clone

Run in terminal:

• git clone [email protected]:jefferson-amorim/notion-pdf-exporter.git
• cd ./notion-pdf-exporter
• npm i

Configure the .env file

Notion's authentication token can be captured in cookies from any https://notion.so screen after a user is logged in.

The name of the cookie is "token_v2" and you will not have access through document.cookie, only through the devtools of a browser like Chrome.

• Open devtools, find the page cookies and search for "token_v2".
• Copy the cookie value;
• Create the .env file based on the .env-sample;
• Change token value to copied cookie value;
• Save this file.

Configure the .notion-cookies

Assuming you're still logged in and have devtools open:

• Open the devtools console;
• Execute copy(document.cookie) to copy cookies content to clipboard;
• Create the .notion-cookies file based on the .notion-cookies-sample;
• Paste the contents of the clipboard to the file;
• Save this file.

Configure the .notion-urls

It's not all roses and you need to list the Notion URLs you want to export to PDF. The good news is that you can only list the parent URLs, as this project exports pages and subpages.

• Create the .notion-urls file based on the .notion-urls-sample;
• List all parent URLs, one per line;
• Save this file.

Run it!

Run npm start in the terminal and wait for the magic to happen.

After the "end of export" message in the terminal, the .zip files will be in the project's /downloads directory.
