Confluence Cloud REST Api get Author of Content

[Timo Grün]

Hi Folks,

i'm currently searching to receive the full information and metadata of a particular content item. There are several interesting metadata entries i would like to receive: 

Author, Content, Created Date, Changed Date. 

I already checked the extensions for 

https://<tenant>.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/{id}/child/comment?expand={??}

But was not successful in receiving any meaningful data. 

Someone already run into a similar problem? 
Confluence Cloud currently feels somehow like a beta, the API isn't that good documented yet.

Hello there Timo! As I understand, you need to extract some specific data from your Confluence Cloud Instance. However, documentation you found was not enough to move forward with the effort.

For this objective, we can start by looking here:

• REST API examples

Also, since the deployment of GDPR compliant measures throughout the platform, some changes have been applied. You can check more information about this here:

• Major changes to Confluence Cloud REST APIs are coming to improve user privacy

For us to use the expansion, this page can be used as a reference:

• Find a page by title and space key

Let us hear from you Timo. Looking forward to your reply.

Hi Diego, 

that actually helped. But still there are some more issues with the REST API.

Am i right, that the content is always in that xhtml format?
Is there any possibility to receive the content (/body) of an content object in RAW?
