How can I retrieve the contents on a database element on a page using the REST API?

[James Black]

I have created a database element which I wish to retrieve in a Python script. I am able to GET the page using Python requests as well as the atlassion-python-api. The problem is that I can't figure out how to access the contents of the database in the response and I'm not sure it is even there.

I have seen answers that usually correspond to looking in the response body->storage->value but this is always empty for me.

Any advice is appreciated.

Hello @James Black 

There are no REST API endpoints for directly accessing the database objects on a page in Confluence.... yet.

Refer to the Actions section of RFC-23 Confluence Databases thread over in the Developers forum, and the subsequent discussion on availability of REST API endpoints.
