Adding to a database creates a new database within page in notion - python-3.x

Question

Here's my current code:
import json
import requests
def createPage(database_id, page_id, headers, url):
newPageData = {
"parent": {
"database_id": database_id,
"page_id": page_id,
},
"properties": {
"Name": {"title": {"text": "HI THERE"}},
},
}
data = json.dumps(newPageData)
res = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=data)
print(res.status_code)
print(res.text)
database_id = "ea28de8e9cca4f62b4c4da3522869d03"
page_id = "697fd88570b3420aaa928fa28d0bf230"
url = "https://api.notion.com/v1/databases/"
key = "KEY"
payload = {}
headers = {
"Authorization": f"Bearer {key}",
"accept": "application/json",
"Notion-Version": "2021-05-11",
"content-type": "application/json",
}
createPage(database_id, page_id, headers, url)
But everytime I run this, it appears like I keep getting new databases within the page. This is before running the script:
This is after running the script:
I would like it to be like this after running the script:
How can that be achieved?

Answer 1

It looks as you're calling the API URL that creates a new Database, and not the one that creates a new page.
This URL: https://api.notion.com/v1/databases/ is for creating new databases, and not for creating pages.
In order to create a new page within a database, use the following URL:
https://api.notion.com/v1/pages
Where you'll need to provide the previously created database id, among other identifiers
