Rest API get jira macro content

[Vaclav Vlcek]

Hi, 

I am trying to get a Confluence page content by using REST Api. It works, however, I am not able to get content of the Jira Macros that are part of the page.

I am using `node-fetch`

Something like:

fetch(

   "https://myproject.temedica.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/pages/123"

{

   method: "GET",

   headers: {

   Accept: "text/html",

   Authorization: "Basic abcd123456",

},

})

.then((response) => {

return response.text();

})

.then((text) => {

console.log(text)

I see the complete html content, but not the embedded content from embedded Jira issues.

Thank you for any hint!

Hi @Vaclav Vlcek and welcome to the community. There are a couple of things you can try. First, on your GET content method, try adding the following query parameter:

?expand=body.storage

In the response payload you'll see a body.storage.value which will contain page contents with generated macro output. If you want to peel off a specific macro and fetch that content, you can use the Get Macro Body by Macro ID (docs linkk) API method. With that method, you'd pass arguments like this:

/wiki/rest/api/content/{contentId}/history/{versionOfPage}/macro/id/{macroId}

and you'll get back a payload that includes generated macro data just for that single macro. 

Give those a try to see if you're getting what you need. Good luck!
