Request Notion database data from the API with Next.js

In this video we learn how to use Notion's client library to request data from a Database, and display the results in our Next.js application.

We will be adding a new page to our application that will help select a random movie for us to watch, using data from our Notion Database. To authorize access to this Database we must add it as an integration, and create a client using the Notion Secret value. Again, we will be pre-rendering this static page at build-time, using Next.js' getStaticProps function.

Additionally, we will learn how to filter and transform our data on the server-side, so we are only passing our component the necessary data for it to render our movies. Lastly, we implement a chooseMovie function that can choose a random value between the bounds of the lowest and highest index of our movies array.
