# notcrawl

Use this for local Notion archive questions. Desktop reads local cache; API sync needs `NOTION_TOKEN` and page access.

## Sources

- DB: `~/.notcrawl/notcrawl.db`

- Pages: `~/.notcrawl/pages`

- CLI: `notcrawl`

## Refresh

```bash

notcrawl doctor

notcrawl status

notcrawl sync --source desktop

```

Use API only when needed and credentials/page access are available:

```bash

notcrawl sync --source api

```

## Query Workflow

1. Check freshness for recent/current Notion questions.

2. Search pages first; use read-only SQL for exact counts or schema-level analysis.

3. Use `export-md` when the user needs Markdown files refreshed.

4. Report date spans, page/database IDs, counts, and source limits.

+ Use root `notcrawl --help` for syntax. Do not run `notcrawl search --help` or

+ `notcrawl sql --help`; current CLI parses `--help` as query text there.

Common commands:

```bash

notcrawl search "query"

notcrawl databases

notcrawl sql "select count(*) from pages;"

notcrawl export-md

```
