Notion Platform Roadmap
Last updated: December 12, 2022
We’ve been busy since we opened the API to general availability. So have you! Thanks for all of your feedback. We’ve incorporated it as we’ve been building.
Read on for a recap of what we’ve launched so far and what we’re continuing to work on. As always, please keep the feedback coming so that we can continue prioritizing what’s most important to you.
Launched
- API support for Link Previews: You can use the Link Previews API to customize Link Previews. In case you missed it, Link Previews are blocks of real-time authenticated content from other tools like Jira or Slack that unfurl in Notion when a user pastes a supported link.
- API support for creating and reading comments.
- Search API improvements: We’ve made the Search endpoint more performant and reliable.
- Support for template duplication during OAuth: Integrations can now offer users the option to duplicate a Notion template during the auth flow.
Near term
- Link Previews API enhancements: We’re adding features to the API that make Link Previews even more customizable.
- Webhooks: We’re making investments in our infrastructure that will allow us to provide reliable event notifications.
- Enterprise APIs: We’re creating new APIs that serve the needs of our larger enterprise customers.
Long term
- API support for database views.
- Bulk API: We’re working on a new API that allows developers to fetch and write data to multiple blocks.
Updated: March 2, 2022
We just announced that the Notion API is officially out of beta! Now that the API is generally available, we want to provide our developer community with more insight around where our team is focusing next.
Here, we’re providing you with a look into our platform product roadmap, broken out by things we’re focused on in the near-term (the next few months) and long-term (over the next year). Like all software roadmaps, things are subject to change as we get more feedback, dig into new projects, and come up with new ideas. Our plan is to update this about once every 6 months.
Hearing from our community is an important input into our planning process. Please continue to give us feedback on the API – and on this roadmap – so we can work on the things that are most important to you.
Now that the API is generally available, here’s what we’ve already added:
- More functionality — The API now supports more block types including synced blocks, columns, and simple tables.
- Better controls — We’ve made it easier to install and approve apps with OAuth, granular permissions, and admin controls.
- API improvements and bug fixes — We’ve made the API more stable and consistent, so that it’s easier to to build and test integrations.
- More documentation — We’ve improved and added to our developer documentation so it’s easier than ever to get started and stay up to date with the latest API improvements.
- New integration gallery — We’ve created a space where people can easily discover integrations built on Notion’s platform. Check it out here.
Near term
- Search improvements: We are continuing to make improvements to the search API endpoint to make it more performant and reliable.
- API support for link previews: Last fall, we launched link previews, an easy way for users to bring information from other tools like Jira and Slack into Notion by pasting a link. We’re working on making the link preview block available via API so that any company can customize previews in Notion for their product.
- Bulk API: We’re working on a new API that allows developers to fetch and write data to multiple blocks.
Long term
- Supporting new database views in the API: We recently announced new database views and filters. We’re working on providing API support once the feature has been released to all users.
- API support for creating and reading comments.
- Webhooks: We’re making investments in our infrastructure that will allow us to provide reliable event notifications.
