NotionYoutube Playlist Importer

This Python script imports videos from a YouTube playlist into a Notion database, including metadata such as title, duration, and upload date. It avoids duplicates and supports custom priority and topic tagging.

Features

• Fetches all videos from a YouTube playlist using yt-dlp
• Adds each video as a page in your Notion database
• Skips videos already present in Notion (by URL)
• Supports custom priority and topic tags via .env
• Logs progress and errors to the terminal

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• yt-dlp (must be installed and available in your PATH; you can also install it with pip: pip install yt-dlp)
• notion-client
• python-dotenv

Install dependencies:

pip install notion-client python-dotenv yt-dlp

Setup

1. Clone this repository.

2. Create a .env file in the project root:

   NOTION_TOKEN=your_notion_integration_token
   DATABASE_ID=your_notion_database_id
   PLAYLIST_ID=your_youtube_playlist_id
   PRIORITY=your_priority_value
   TOPIC_LIST=comma,separated,topics
   

   Example:

   NOTION_TOKEN=ntn_fake_token_1234567890abcdef
   DATABASE_ID=1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef
   PLAYLIST_ID=PL1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef
   PRIORITY=m
   TOPIC_LIST=Python,AI
   

3. Ensure your Notion database has the required properties (or edit this to create your own):

   • Name (title)
   • Priority (select)
   • Topic (multi-select)
   • Playlist Name (rich text)
   • Status (select)
   • URL (url)
   • OG ADDED (date)
   • Length Sec (number)

4. Run the script:

   python import_playlist_to_notion.py

Notes

• The script will log progress and any issues to the terminal.
• Make sure your Notion integration has access to the target database.
• The script respects Notion API rate limits.
