Weekly Journal Extractor

This project is a TypeScript-based tool that extracts journal entries from a Notion database for the past 7 days and saves them into a structured XML file.

Features

• Connects to Notion using the official API.
• Queries entries created in the last 7 days.
• Extracts text content from paragraph blocks.
• Formats output as XML with date-based IDs.

Prerequisites

• Node.js installed on your machine.
• A Notion Integration Token (API Key).
• The ID of the Notion database you want to extract from.

Setup

1. Install dependencies:

   npm install

2. Configure Environment Variables:

   Create a .env file in the root directory with the following variables:

   NOTION_API_KEY=your_notion_integration_token
   NOTION_PAGE_ID=your_notion_database_id
   OUTPUT_PATH=./journal_entries.xml

   Note: Ensure your Notion Integration has access to the target database.

Usage

Run the extraction script using tsx:

npx tsx extract.ts

Output Format

The script generates an XML file (specified by OUTPUT_PATH) with the following structure:

<entry id="2023-10-27">
Content of the journal entry...
</entry>

<entry id="2023-10-28">
Another entry content...
</entry>
