I trying to use the Rest API to update our wiki page but nothing seems to be happening even though I am receiving 200 codes.
I've tried to accomplish this through both postman as well as Python, and I am receiving the same server response in both cases, but to no avail. Here is my Python code -
curl = 'curl -u user:pass -X POST -H \'Content-Type: application/json\' ' \
'-d \'{0}\' https://wiki.myCompany.com:8444/confluence/rest/api/content/'\
.format(json.dumps(new))
output = subprocess.check_output(['bash', '-c', curl])
print(output`)
I've tried using both POST and PUT
Here is the response -
PUT https://wiki.myCompany.com:8444/confluence/rest/api/content/

..... A lot more html .... but nothing relating to Body or Body.Storage...
My JSON is formed correctly and contains the page ID - Here is the start of it....
{"id":"28870287","type":"page","status":"current","title":"Automated QA Results - Android","body":{"storage":{"value":"<p>These are the results of every git merge...}}
Does anyone have any idea why nothing is happening?
I have tried this through the requests library before - I get the same 200 response code. I was just seeing if you guys notice something wrong with calls themselves rather than the implementation
# output = requests.post('https://{0}/confluence/rest/api/content'.format(jirasite),
# data=(json.dumps(new)),
# auth=('user', 'pass'),
# headers=({'Content-Type': 'application/json'}))
**** New Update ****
I am trying it from literally the stock curl value which is Given on the Confluence API page
'{"id":"28870287","type":"page","title":"new page","space":{"key":"TST"},"body":{"storage":{"value":"<p>This is the updated text for the new page</p>","representation":"storage"}},"version":{"number":2}}'
Still to no avail... I am at a complete loss....
****** Update Again ******
I am just going to post the code that I am currently working with
r = requests.get('{0}/rest/api/content/28870287?expand=body.storage,version'.format(conflu_site),
auth=(test_user, test_pass)).text
print(r) # This works as expected
new = '{\"id\":\"28870287\",\"type\":\"page",\"title":\"Automated QA Results - Android\",\"space\":{\"key\":\"TST\"},' \
'\"body\":{\"storage\":{\"value\":\"<p>This is the updated text for the new page</p>\",' \
'\"representation\":\"storage\"}},\"version\":{\"number\":2}}'
update_response = requests.put('{0}/confluence/rest/api/content/28870287/'.format(conflu_site),
data=new,
auth=(test_user, test_pass),
headers=({'Content-Type': 'application/json'}))
print("Update Confluence Response: " + str(update_response))
First of all, please check the base url of your Confluence instance, because by default it looks like xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1990/confluence, but one can get rid of the context confluence. In your example, you use wiki.myCompany.com:8444 as something called jirasite and still add confluence before the REST API url rest/api. If you use the right API endpoint, you should never get a HTML response.
Then, please decide which API method you want to use. To create a new content, you have to send a POST request to rest/api/content, but to update an existing content, you have to send a PUT request to rest/api/content/{contentId}.
I just noticed, that you are using the -u option in curl and the auth method of the requests library for authentication. I am not quite sure, but I think it is not possible to authenticate via those techniques. Atlassian lists the possibilities in their documentation and I think, that you have to implement their Basic authentication on your own.
Atlassian provides a REST API Browser Plugin to test API requests. If you cannot install plugins in your Confluence instance, you can use a browser extension (e.g. YARC). This way, you can send requests to your Confluence without caring about authentication.
