The Databases and Pages streams are using same Search endpoint.

Notion stores Blocks in hierarchical structure, so we use recursive request to get list of blocks.

Performance considerations

The connector is restricted by normal Notion rate limits and size limits.

The Notion connector should not run into Notion API limitations under normal usage. Please create an issue if you see any rate limit issues that are not automatically retried successfully.

Sync considerations

In order for your connection to successfully sync the pages and blocks you expect, you should share the corresponding pages with your Notion integration first. That also applies to child pages. You won't be able to see blocks from child pages if you explicitly don't share them with your integration.
