GitBook API Integration

javascript
const GitBook = require('gitbook-api');

    this.client = new GitBook({ token });
  }

  // List spaces
  async listSpaces(organizationId) {
    return await this.client.spaces.list({

  }

  // Get space content
  async getContent(spaceId) {

Notion Export Script

javascript
async function exportNotionToMarkdown(databaseId, outputDir) {
  const manager = new NotionDocsManager(process.env.NOTION_TOKEN);
  const pages = await manager.queryDocs(databaseId);

  for (const page of pages) {
    const title = page.properties.Title.title[0].plain_text;
    const slug = page.properties.Slug.rich_text[0]?.plain_text || slugify(title);
    const category = page.properties.Category.select?.name || 'uncategorized';

    const content = await manager.getPageContent(page.id);

    const frontMatter = `---
title: ${title}
notion_id: ${page.id}
last_updated: ${page.last_edited_time}
---

`;

    const filePath = path.join(outputDir, category, `${slug}.md`);
    await fs.mkdir(path.dirname(filePath), { recursive: true });
    await fs.writeFile(filePath, frontMatter + content);
  }
}

Analytics

GitBook Analytics

javascript
async function getGitBookAnalytics(spaceId) {
  const analytics = await gitbook.getAnalytics(spaceId, '30d');

  return {
    pageViews: analytics.pageViews,
    uniqueVisitors: analytics.uniqueVisitors,
    topPages: analytics.topPages.map(p => ({
      path: p.path,
      views: p.views
    })),
    searchQueries: analytics.searches.map(s => ({
      query: s.query,
      count: s.count,
      noResults: s.noResults
    }))
  };
}

Workflow

  1. Configure - Set up API credentials
  2. Connect - Link Git repository or Notion database
  3. Sync - Push/pull content changes
  4. Publish - Deploy to hosted platform
  5. Monitor - Track analytics and usage

Dependencies

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "@notionhq/client": "^2.2.0",
    "gitbook-api": "^0.8.0",
