Score breakdown
Popularity is tracked separately. Support, ads, sponsorships, and tips never affect these signals.
Why it matters
Most AI / ML engineers + research-heavy power users + content creators + agent developers using NotebookLM today have been either (a) manually uploading sources + clicking through the NotebookLM web UI (no programmatic access, no bulk operations, no AI-agent integration), (b) hand-rolling unofficial scripts that hit undocumented Google APIs with no canonical reference implementation, or (c) buildi
Who should use it
Who should skip it
Avoid running notebooklm-py: MIT Unofficial NotebookLM Python API + CLI + MCP Server for AI Agents (Audio Overviews + Quizzes + Mind Maps + Bulk Downloads, 17,426*, Uses Undocumented Google APIs) in production until you have reviewed its permissions, data-access scope, and failure modes in a sandbox.
About this signal
notebooklm-py: MIT Unofficial NotebookLM Python API + CLI + MCP Server for AI Agents (Audio Overviews + Quizzes + Mind Maps + Bulk Downloads, 17,426*, Uses Undocumented Google APIs) is tracked by RepoRadar as a tool in the Radar section. It was first seen on 2026-07-09 and last updated on AUTOFILL_NOW. The current verdict is 'try now conditional' with a Silver tier and easy setup difficulty. notebooklm-py: MIT Unofficial NotebookLM Python API + CLI + MCP Server for AI Agents (Audio Overviews + Quizzes + Mind Maps + Bulk Downloads, 17,426*, Uses Undocumented Google APIs) leads on novelty (9.0) and momentum (9.0); its lowest signal is maturity (5.7), so factor that in before investing setup time. This page summarizes the evidence RepoRadar has captured from captured source metadata. The score, tier, risk label, and verdict on this page are never influenced by sponsorship, ads, or tips — they reflect only the usefulness, popularity, novelty, momentum, maturity, and evidence signals described in the RepoRadar methodology.
How this item is evaluated
RepoRadar assigned notebooklm-py: MIT Unofficial NotebookLM Python API + CLI + MCP Server for AI Agents (Audio Overviews + Quizzes + Mind Maps + Bulk Downloads, 17,426*, Uses Undocumented Google APIs) a composite score of 7.8 out of 10, placing it in the Silver tier. This score combines weighted sub-signals: usefulness (35%), novelty (18%), momentum (14%), maturity (10%), open-source/build quality (7%), evidence quality (6%), workflow potential (6%), and setup ease (4%). Popularity is tracked separately at 0.0 and never affects the composite score or tier. The risk label of 'medium' reflects inherent user-impacting hazards, not generic novelty. Items with no risk flag may still require normal code review before production use.

Risk explanation
The 17; 426* repo is at active maintenance but the consumer SHOULD note the README explicitly says `This library uses undocumented Google APIs that can change without notice. Not affiliated with Google. APIs may break -- Google can change internal endpoints anytime. Rate limits apply -- Heavy usage may be throttled. Best for prototypes; research; and personal projects.` -- the library is unofficial and may break at any time.
