Is it possible to access particular confluence page url content using Python or Shell script ?

[Akshaya Kunnoth]

I'm trying to access a particular table content from a confluence page.  I wanted to implement this using Python BeautifulSoup and it's not working.  So Just wanted to get clarified whether it can be done or not.  Or is there any way in shell to do it ? Most of the similar question's links are not accessible, hence posting it again.

Hello,

You should use Conflunce Rest Api. It can be done in Python or Shell script.

You can read more about Confluence REST API here:

Hi Alexey,

Thanks for the answer.  It worked. Now I need another solution. I'm trying to login to confluence through a python script and retrieve the content.  Do you have an example solution for it ?

It does not mean from which program language you are trying to connect. You still have to pass login credentials. If you connect using basic auth, then you can find an example here:
