Use Notion to create a database, connect to the Notion API, and create a small Node.js server.

Discover Notion, a project management software similar to Trello and Airtable, and use its API to build the backend of a database.

Notion is a customizable project management software that makes it easy to collaborate on projects and pages, share your work internally or externally, and keep track of teammates.

Notion is easy to use and is a favorite of both tech and non-tech companies. Some popular alternatives to Notion are Trello, Jira, and Airtable.

Notion recently released the Notion API, which allows developers to build on top of Notion. While still in public beta, we can use the Notion API to develop and test our own application.

In this tutorial, we’ll use Notion to create a database, connect to the Notion API, and create a small Node.js server that uses Fastify to serve up content from our Notion workspace. Note that this tutorial will only build out the backend of the application.

To follow along with this tutorial, you’ll need to have a basic knowledge of JavaScript and Node.js.

Let’s get started!
