The API documentation only shows 3 endpoints related to Confluence "database" objects, create, get, and delete. Is there any way to access the data that is actually stored in the database? For context, I'd like to be able to automate creation of Jira work items based on the content of a row, and then link the created work item in that row. I recognize that Confluence "databases" aren't true databases, but is there any way to do this?

Hello Dan, according to the API Documentation this is not implemented: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-database/#api-databases-id-get

You can create a new db, list existing once or delete them - but you cant pull/put/modify content within the api itself.

i had to learn it the hardway aswell :-/

As @Fabian Bruhn mentioned, Atlassian only exposes create/get/delete endpoints for the database container itself, not the row-level data inside it.
