REST API: How to create page that gets the new editor?

[Jan Hellmich]

I'm trying to use the REST API to create a confluence page that uses the new editor.

Currently, pages that I create via the UI have the new editor. I took one of those pages and used the GET EP for the content `/wiki/rest/api/content/$pageId?expand=body.editor2` (https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-content/#api-api-content-get) to get the editor representation of that page.

When I use the POST variant of the API (https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-content/#api-api-content-post)  to create a new page with the body value exactly what was returned from the initial get request and choosing the `editor2` representation, the page created is using the old editor and gives me a "Convert to new editor" button. 

Do I need to set some other parameters that I'm unaware of or is `editor2` not the representation that maps to the new editor? 

Thanks for the help.

Hello @Jan Hellmich !

As I understand, you need to create pages via REST API and you also need those pages to be on the New Editor rather than the Legacy one.

Some time ago I dealt with a pretty similar need and pointed them in the direction of someone who had already achieved this. You can take a look at my thread here:

Just note that the approaches above for the V2 API are workarounds due to limitations, not solutions.

The solution would be for the V2 create API to support specifying what editor to use but currently it does not support that
