Evolve a Database Schema and Re-Query

with Notion

Retrieve a database, update its property schema, then query it.

  1. Retrieve the database to read its current property schema before modifying it.
  2. Patch the database schema with the supplied properties object, adding or modifying properties as specified.
  3. Query the database under its new schema, returning a small page of results to confirm it is readable.
What you'll need to have ready
  • token: Notion integration token passed as a bearer credential.
  • notionVersion: The Notion API version date sent in the Notion-Version header.
  • databaseId: The ID of the database to evolve.
  • properties: Property schema changes to apply (add or modify properties).
