notion-sdk-js VS dotenv

Here is an example of how to create a new page in your Notion workspace with the blocks converted from the original HTML. We use the @notionhq/client library and you'll need to have a valid Notion API key and database ID:

Provides data fetching functions that add some utility to the notion-sdk

Thousands of great APIs run their developer hubs on ReadMe, where our customers are already documenting every little detail about their API using the OpenAPI Specification. This got us thinking: “the OpenAPI Specification already provides a ton of valuable information about an API, what if we use this to generate an SDK that’s as good as Notion’s JavaScript SDK”?

The official guide actually suggests to poll all the time and compare to local DB to imitate webhooks.

Hey, I created a Notion automation in Python that sends an Email to a given recipient when the value of a select property in a Notion database is changed. To send the Email, the SendGrid API is used. I inspired myself at the official Notion node.js implementation.

We will put our Emailjs environment variables in a dotenv (.env) file. To read more about the purpose of this file click here.

Add .env to your .gitignore file to prevent it from being committed. Here's an example file with it already added. You may also use dotenv for advanced configuration and it will automatically load environment variables from a .env file into process.env.

dotenv: Designed to load environment variables from a .env file into the process.env environment

Like Doppler, Infisical uses environment variable injection. Similar to the Dotenv package for Node, when used in Node, it injects them at run time into the process object of the running app so they're not readable by any other processes or users. They can still be revealed by a crash dump or logging, so that is a caveat to consider in your code and build scripts.

We'll be working with databases' ids and different info that should be secured so I would advise you to create a .env file to store said info. We'll do this by installing dotenv into our project and use it accordingly:

dotenv - For reading our API keys from the environment

As an avid dotenv user I wanted to thank their maintainers for keeping the project alive for 10 years (wow). A perfect exemplary of dedication to Open Source.

Sensitive data like database URLs, API keys, and passwords should never be hardcoded in your application code. Instead, use environment variables accessed at runtime to keep this information secret. Popular dotenv libraries like dotenv make this easy for Node.js apps.
