A block object represents a piece of content within Notion. The API translates the headings, toggles, paragraphs, lists, media, and more that you can interact with in the Notion UI as different block type objects.

For example, the following block object represents a Heading 2 in the Notion UI:

{
	"object": "block",
	"id": "c02fc1d3-db8b-45c5-a222-27595b15aea7",
	"parent": {
		"type": "page_id",
		"page_id": "59833787-2cf9-4fdf-8782-e53db20768a5"
	},
	"created_time": "2022-03-01T19:05:00.000Z",
	"last_edited_time": "2022-07-06T19:41:00.000Z",
	"created_by": {
		"object": "user",
		"id": "ee5f0f84-409a-440f-983a-a5315961c6e4"
	},
	"last_edited_by": {
		"object": "user",
		"id": "ee5f0f84-409a-440f-983a-a5315961c6e4"
	},
	"has_children": false,
	"archived": false,
	"type": "heading_2",
	"heading_2": {
		"rich_text": [
			{
				"type": "text",
				"text": {
					"content": "Lacinato kale",
					"link": null
				},
				"annotations": {
					"bold": false,
					"italic": false,
					"strikethrough": false,
					"underline": false,
					"code": false,
					"color": "green"
				},
				"plain_text": "Lacinato kale",
				"href": null
			}
		],
		"color": "default",
    "is_toggleable": false
	}
}

Use the Retrieve block children endpoint to list all of the blocks on a page.

The API does not support all block types.
Only the block type objects listed in the reference below are supported. Any unsupported block types appear in the structure, but contain a type set to "unsupported".

Block type objects

Every block object has a key corresponding to the value of type. Under the key is an object with type-specific block information.

📘
Many block types support rich text. In cases where it is supported, a rich_text object will be included in the block type object. All rich_text objects will include a plain_text property, which provides a convenient way for developers to access unformatted text from the Notion block.

Bookmark

Bookmark block objects contain the following information within the bookmark property:

Field	Type	Description
`caption`	array of rich text objects text	The caption for the bookmark.
`url`	string	The link for the bookmark.

Column list and column

Column lists are parent blocks for columns. They do not contain any information within the column_list property.

{
  //...other keys excluded
  "type": "column_list",
  //...other keys excluded
  "column_list": {}
}

Columns are parent blocks for any block types listed in this reference except for other columns. They do not contain any information within the column property. They can only be appended to column_lists.

{
  //...other keys excluded
  "type": "column",
  //...other keys excluded
  "column": {}
}

When creating a column_list block via Append block children, the column_list must have at least two columns, and each column must have at least one child.

Retrieve the content in a column list

Follow these steps to fetch the content in a column_list:

Get the column_list ID from a query to Retrieve block children for the parent page.
Get the column children from a query to Retrieve block children for the column_list.
Get the content in each individual column from a query to Retrieve block children for the unique column ID.

Divider

Divider block objects do not contain any information within the divider property.

{
  //...other keys excluded
  "type": "divider",
  //...other keys excluded
  "divider": {}
}

Embed

Embed block objects include information about another website displayed within the Notion UI. The embed property contains the following information:

Field	Type	Description
`url`	`string`	The link to the website that the embed block displays.

{
  //...other keys excluded
  "type": "embed",
  //...other keys excluded
  "embed": {
    "url": "https://companywebsite.com"
  }
}

🚧
Differences in embed blocks between the Notion app and the API
The Notion app uses a 3rd-party service, iFramely, to validate and request metadata for embeds given a URL. This works well in a web app because Notion can kick off an asynchronous request for URL information, which might take seconds or longer to complete, and then update the block with the metadata in the UI after receiving a response from iFramely.
We chose not to call iFramely when creating embed blocks in the API because the API needs to be able to return faster than the UI, and because the response from iFramely could actually cause us to change the block type. This would result in a slow and potentially confusing experience as the block in the response would not match the block sent in the request.
The result is that embed blocks created via the API may not look exactly like their counterparts created in the Notion app.

👍
Vimeo video links can be embedded in a Notion page via the public API using the embed block type.
For example, the following object can be passed to the Append block children endpoint:
{
  "children": [
    {
      "embed": {
        "url": "https://player.vimeo.com/video/226053498?h=a1599a8ee9"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Synced block

Similar to the Notion UI, there are two versions of a synced_block object: the original block that was created first and doesn't yet sync with anything else, and the duplicate block or blocks synced to the original.

An original synced block must be created before corresponding duplicate block or blocks can be made.

Original synced block

Duplicate synced block

Duplicate synced block objects contain the following information within the synced_from object:

Field	Type	Description
`type`	`string` (enum)	The type of the synced from object. Possible values are: - `"block_id"`
`block_id`	`string` (UUIDv4)	An identifier for the original `synced_block`.

{
    //...other keys excluded
  	"type": "synced_block",
    "synced_block": {
        "synced_from": {
            "block_id": "original_synced_block_id"
        }
    }
}

🚧
The API does not supported updating synced block content.

Table

Table block objects are parent blocks for table row children. Table block objects contain the following fields within the table property:

Field	Type	Description
`table_width`	`integer`	The number of columns in the table. Note that this cannot be changed via the public API once a table is created.
`has_column_header`	`boolean`	Whether the table has a column header. If `true`, then the first row in the table appears visually distinct from the other rows.
`has_row_header`	`boolean`	Whether the table has a header row. If `true`, then the first column in the table appears visually distinct from the other columns.

{
  //...other keys excluded
  "type": "table",
  "table": {
    "table_width": 2,
    "has_column_header": false,
    "has_row_header": false
  }
}

🚧
table_width can only be set when the table is first created.
Note that the number of columns in a table can only be set when the table is first created. Calls to the Update block endpoint to update table_width fail.

Table rows

Follow these steps to fetch the table_rows of a table:

Get the table ID from a query to Retrieve block children for the parent page.
Get the table_rows from a query to Retrieve block children for the table.
