Authentication

Requires bearer token authentication with appropriate page edit permissions.

Path parameters

page_id (required)

• Type: string (UUIDv4)
• Description: The ID of the page to move
  • This must be a regular Notion page, and not a database. Moving databases or other block types in the API is not currently supported.
• Format: UUIDs can be provided with or without dashes
• Example: 195de9221179449fab8075a27c979105 or 195de922-1179-449f-ab80-75a27c979105

Body parameters

parent (required)

• Type: object
• Description: The new parent location for the page.
  • The bot must have edit access to the new parent.

The parent object can be one of two types:

Page parent

Move the page under another page:

JSON

{
  "parent": {
    "type": "page_id",
    "page_id": "<parent-page-id>"
  }
}

• type: Always "page_id"
• page_id: UUID of the parent page (with or without dashes)

Page parent must be a regular Notion page

The parent[page_id] parameter must be a page and cannot be any other type of block.

One limited exception: for databases that only have a single data source , the database_id can be provided under page_id, but this is not recommended, since your connection will start encountering HTTP 400 errors if a second data source is added to the database.

Database parent

Move the page into a database:

JSON

{
  "parent": {
    "type": "data_source_id",
    "data_source_id": "<database-data-source-id>"
  }
}

• type: Always "data_source_id"
• data_source_id: UUID of the database’s data source (with or without dashes)

Note: You must use data_source_id rather than database_id. Use the Retrieve a database endpoint to get the child data source ID(s) from the database.
