How to get

To export anything from Notion, one needs to authenticate oneself with some Cookies (like a browser would). These cookies are called token_v2 and file_token. They are set on all requests of a logged in user when using the Notion web-app.

1. Go to notion.so.
2. Log in with your account.
3. Open the developer tools of your browser, open Application > Storage > Cookies (Chrome); Storage tab (Firefox).
4. Copy the value of the Cookies called token_v2 and file_token and paste them somewhere safe.
   • ⚠️ If you don't find file_token, you need to have at least had exported a file manually once.
5. Those cookies have a 1 year validity, so you don't need to do this often.

Note on Stability

This tool completely relies on the export/download feature of the official but internal Notion.so API. The advantage is, that we do not generate any markup ourselves, just download and extract some ZIPs. While the download feature seems to be pretty stable, keep in mind that it still is an internal API, so it may break anytime.
