How to Import API Data into Notion With Note API Connector [RapidAPI]

Updated February 14, 2025

Notion is a powerful tool for organizing workflows, but its capabilities grow exponentially when paired with APIs. In this guide, I'll show you how to import API data into Notion using the Note API Connector. By connecting APIs through RapidAPI, you can tap into thousands of data sources and seamlessly integrate them into your Notion workspace.

As an example, I'll demonstrate how to import balance sheet data into Notion. However, the process works for any API available on RapidAPI, so you can adapt it to your specific needs.

What is RapidAPI?

RapidAPI is the largest API marketplace, offering access to over 40,000 APIs across diverse categories, such as:

Machine Learning: APIs for AI tools like image recognition or language processing
Finance: Stock market data, balance sheets, or cryptocurrency rates
Sports: Game statistics, live scores, and player data
Utilities: Weather updates, geolocation, or translation services.

RapidAPI simplifies finding and integrating APIs by providing a central hub where you can test, subscribe, and manage APIs effortlessly.

For this tutorial, I'll focus on APIs that provide balance sheet data, but the same process applies to any other type of API available on the platform.

Subscribe to RapidAPI

Visit RapidAPI and sign up for free. Once you’re logged in, explore the API hub .

In the search bar, enter keywords related to the data you want. For this guide, I searched for balance sheet .

I selected the SEC Filings API , which offers free access to 25 requests per month.

Note that whichever plan you choose (even the free one), you'll need to enter your credit card details at this point.

Explore API Endpoints

Each API offers multiple endpoints. For example, the SEC Filings API has an endpoint for balance sheets. Review the list of endpoints in the left panel.

Open the endpoint documentation to understand the parameters required.

Now, I can subscribe to API and test it out. Use the built-in RapidAPI console to test the API.

👇 It's important to test the API to ensure it's functional and that you know how to use it with the correct parameters.
