ACLI exportPage failing - was working until 2 days ago
Space exports still working
Using pageid to export fails with
Client error: Trouble finding download link. Use --debug for detail information.

Hi @Matthew Johnson 

The exportPage action in the Appfire/Bob Swift ACLI tool failing with "Trouble finding download link" is a known issue that typically surfaces when Atlassian changes how Confluence Cloud generates and serves export download links.

Since it was working until 2 days ago and space exports still work, this is almost certainly a Confluence API-level change breaking the page export endpoint.

Here's what to try:

1. Upgrade ACLI to the latest version — Appfire regularly releases patches to keep up with Confluence Cloud API changes. Check the latest release at https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ACLI/pages/60562669/Downloads and upgrade to the most recent version.
2. Run with --debug as suggested in the error — this will show you the exact URL being called and the response, which will pinpoint whether it's an authentication issue, a redirect, or a changed endpoint.

Unfortunately ...
we are already running the latest as far as I am aware (12.1.1 released last year).
I have used the --debug switch but it didn't really provide any more insight than the concise error message.
Looks like I'll just have to go without that function for the time being.

Hello @Matthew Johnson 

So it stopped working after the recent Rovo and Search Index incidents?

What do you see when you run a debug on it now?

I would treat that as a regression, especially if it suddenly stopped working without any change on your side, and I would raise it with Atlassian.
