notebooklm-py opens NotebookLM to Python

notebooklm-py is an unofficial Python API, CLI, and agent-friendly toolkit for Google NotebookLM that exposes notebook creation, source import, chat, research workflows, sharing, and artifact generation from code. Its GitHub surge makes sense: it turns a UI-first research tool into something developers can automate and plug into larger workflows.

// ANALYSIS

The real appeal here is not just Python bindings — it is giving NotebookLM a programmable surface area developers can actually build on.

–The project reaches well beyond basic wrapper territory with support for notebooks, sources, chat, research agents, sharing, and downloadable outputs like audio, video, quizzes, slide decks, and mind maps
–It exposes capabilities the web UI does not surface cleanly, including batch downloads, structured exports, and programmatic workflow control
–The library ships in three useful forms at once: async Python SDK, CLI, and Claude Code/agent skills, which broadens its appeal from hackers to serious workflow builders
–The biggest caveat is also the biggest risk: it relies on undocumented Google APIs, so stability and long-term production safety are not guaranteed
