Notion Database Export

InsightSocial's Notion Database Export is a free Chrome extension that turns a public Notion database into a spreadsheet, even when you can only view it and Notion shows no export option. Each entry becomes a row, each property a column in the view's order, with the text of the entry's page. It exports to Excel, CSV, JSON or Google Sheets. For a database in your own workspace, Notion's built-in export is enough.

How it works

From install to file in four steps.

  1. 01

    Add it to Chrome

    Install InsightSocial from the Chrome Web Store and sign in with Google or email. It is free and asks for no card.

  2. 02

    Pin the icon

    Click the puzzle piece in Chrome's toolbar and pin InsightSocial. That icon opens the side panel.

  3. 03

    Open the database, click Scrape

    Open the public database on its own page (its address has ?v= in it) to get one row per entry, or any public page for its blocks. The first time, Chrome asks you to allow that Notion site. Then click Scrape.

  4. 04

    Export

    Open the run in your InsightSocial dashboard and download Excel, CSV or JSON, or send it to Google Sheets.

What you get

On a public database, each entry becomes a row. Every property is its own column, in the order the view shows them: Company, Location and Type on a job board, Status and Votes on a feedback board. Each row also carries the text of the entry's own page, who created it and when, and the links inside it.

On an ordinary public page, each block (a paragraph, heading, to-do or list item) becomes a row, with nested blocks under the block they sit in. A database embedded in the page adds its entries under its own row.

This is for pages you can only view: a public directory, job board, roadmap or resource list someone else published. If the page is in your own workspace, Notion's built-in export from the ••• menu does the job. Every site is on the review scraper hub.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use it if you can. Notion exports a database as CSV and a page as Markdown, HTML or PDF, from the ••• menu. But the export option needs full access to the page, so a visitor to a page published on the web usually has none. InsightSocial reads what the public page shows and gives you the same kind of spreadsheet.
