How to Integrate IBM Watson with Notion

Integrate IBM Watson with Notion

• Make sure you have a Notion account and create a workspace for integrating IBM Watson services.

 

• Sign up for an IBM Cloud account if you haven't already. Navigate to the Watson services section and select the desired IBM Watson service (e.g., Watson Assistant, Watson Discovery)

 

• Create an instance of the selected Watson service and take note of the API credentials provided (API Key, URL).

Setup IBM Watson API

• To interact programmatically, use IBM Watson's official SDK for your preferred programming language (Node.js, Python, etc.) Make sure to install the SDK using your terminal.

 

• Example for Python:

pip install --upgrade ibm-watson

• Use the following template to establish a connection with Watson in Python:

from ibm_watson import AssistantV2
from ibm_cloud_sdk_core.authenticators import IAMAuthenticator

apikey = 'your-api-key'
url = 'your-service-url'

authenticator = IAMAuthenticator(apikey)  
assistant = AssistantV2(version='2021-06-14', authenticator=authenticator)
assistant.set_service_url(url)

Notion API Setup

• Register for Notion API if you haven't already. Create an integration through their developer portal to obtain your Notion API Token.

 

• Once you have your Notion integration token, use it to programmatically access your Notion database.

 

• Utilize a wrapper or SDK specific to Notion to easily interact with your database. For example, using JavaScript:

npm install @notionhq/client

• Sample code for initializing the Notion client:

const { Client } = require('@notionhq/client');

const notion = new Client({ auth: process.env.NOTION_API_KEY });

// Function to retrieve database information
async function getDatabase(){
    const response = await notion.databases.query({ 
        database_id: process.env.NOTION_DATABASE_ID,
    });
    console.log(response);
}

Integrating IBM Watson with Notion

• Create a middleware layer or script to facilitate data exchange between IBM Watson and Notion.

 

• Implement logic to send requests to Watson, process responses, and subsequently update or query Notion.

 

• A Python example to demonstrate conceptually:

import requests

def add_to_notion(data):
    url = 'https://api.notion.com/v1/pages'
    headers = {
        'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_NOTION_TOKEN',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Notion-Version': '2021-05-13'
    }
    json_data = {
        # JSON data structure to add to your notion database
    }
    
    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=json_data)
    print(response.status_code)

def query_watson(input_text):
    response = assistant.message_stateless(
        assistant_id='YOUR_ASSISTANT_ID',
        input={
            'message_type': 'text',
            'text': input_text
        }
    ).get_result()
    
    return response['output']['generic'][0]['text']

# Example flow
user_input = "Example input text"
watson_response = query_watson(user_input)
add_to_notion(watson_response)

• Ensure Notion API is used according to its current version guidelines to maintain compatibility. You may need to adjust JSON structures based on your database schema.
