notebooklm-py
Unofficial Python API and agentic skill for Google NotebookLM — full programmatic access.
About
notebooklm-py (teng-lin/notebooklm-py) is an unofficial Python API plus agentic SKILL.md for Google's NotebookLM, giving developers full programmatic access to the research assistant: notebooks, sources, notes, and audio overviews driven from code or from an AI agent. With ~19.7k GitHub stars under an MIT license, it is the de-facto way to automate NotebookLM workflows.
As an agentic skill, it lets coding agents treat NotebookLM as a tool — ingesting sources, generating briefings, and producing audio overviews as part of larger research pipelines — rather than a click-only web app.
Limitations: it is unofficial and reverse-engineered, so Google API changes can break it without notice; it depends on authenticated sessions rather than a public API key; and heavy automation may run against NotebookLM's terms of service — use within reasonable personal/research limits.
