Use actual API credentials

[yannbolliger]

Maybe we can use the official Notion API to get a token, then use the old workflow.
At least, one should be able to provide login credentials instead of the rather hacky token_v2.

I was not able to use the CLI as there was no file_token in cookies, I guess it is related to this issue, right?

@shahrukhalam No, this was #3 and has been fixed with the latest release. Please also check the updated README.

@yannbolliger But, I was not able to find it in the cookies 🤔
I have followed the ReadMe & I guess it didn't change related to how to get file_token

In one of the comments on Issue #3, there is a mention of url of zip file, is that the way? if yes, what's it?

@shahrukhalam I just retried the cookie explanation in Firefox. I see both cookies (file_token, token_v2) even if I log in with a fresh private mode tab. Maybe try that once and make sure to check for cookies in the cookies/storage tab of the developer tools – not on a single request.

@yannbolliger Ah, I was using Safari, now i am able to see them in Chrome
Thanks much for the help 💚

Hey, @shahrukhalam
Did you know is there an offical Notion API to export Notion Data or to get cookies token? I used https://notion.so/api/v3/loginWithEmail to retrieve cookies token ago, but it seems been banned by Notion right now.

For those wondering why the file_token is not present in cookies : you need to export something at least one time from your browser in order to store this token.

After that, copy file_token and token_v2 and it should work fine.

Yes, this is the original goal & intention of this issue, to use the official API to get tokens/credentials in an official way. This would also mean that you don't have to recreate tokens every 90 days.
If someone here is willing to help/provide a PR, you are more than welcome.

Also, thanks @louislspn for adding that explanation.
