FIND-20260323-011 — notebooklm-py: Unofficial Python API for Google NotebookLM

Summary

notebooklm-py is an unofficial Python API and agentic skill for Google NotebookLM, promoted by @socialwithaayan on X. It provides full programmatic access to NotebookLM features — audio/video/quiz/flashcard generation, multi-source notebook management, and Claude Code agentic skill integration — that the official web UI does not expose via any public API. The library has 7,139 GitHub stars, MIT license, and is actively maintained (last commit March 19 2026, latest release v0.3.4). The critical caveat is that it wraps undocumented Google internal APIs that may break without notice.

Recommendation

USE WITH CAUTION

Supply chain risk is MEDIUM because the library wraps undocumented Google internal APIs with no stability guarantees. Authentication requires storing Google session credentials. Not suitable for production ODS services without a dedicated abstraction layer and fallback strategy.

ODS Impact

Relevant to ODS agent workflows and document intelligence use cases. The library explicitly supports Claude Code agentic skill integration (listed in GitHub topics: claude, claude-skills, openclaw-skills). Potential applications for ODS:

DocStore / PDF Engine — programmatic ingestion of documents for AI-powered Q&A and summaries
Veille agent — automated research notebook creation from daily tech feeds
ADLC agents — agentic skill to query NotebookLM as a knowledge base from Claude Code tasks

Not recommended for mission-critical ODS services due to reliance on undocumented APIs. Best suited for internal developer tooling or experimental agent workflows.

Key Features (v0.3.4)

Create and manage notebooks, add sources (PDF, URLs, YouTube, Google Drive, audio, video)
Generate audio overviews, cinematic video, quizzes, flashcards, slide decks, infographics, mind maps
Python API, CLI, and agentic skill for Claude Code / OpenClaw
Notebook metadata export in JSON and human-readable formats
Auto-retry on timeout with exponential backoff
