Confluence OAuth 2.0 - 401 Error

[정지민 _ruirui4_]

Hello,

We have created a service account in our Atlassian admin settings, following the instructions in the documentation.

Using this service account, we were able to successfully connect to Jira by generating an API token.

However, for Confluence, we created credentials of the OAuth 2.0 type following the same process, but we are consistently receiving a 401 error. We have already granted the service account all 'classic' permissions within Confluence, so we don't understand why this error persists.

I am providing the configured scopes and the full error message below.

Could you please help us resolve this?

Thanks

Hello @정지민 _ruirui4_ 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

There is no error information included with your post.

What API endpoints are you trying to use? Can you show us the call and payload you are using?

[Trudy Claspill]

What API endpoints are you calling? What parameters and data are you providing with that call?

For now, I am simply testing it with a curl command.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer {TOKEN}" -H "Accept: application/json" "https://api.atlassian.com/ex/confluence/{cloudid}/api/v2/spaces"
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer {TOKEN}" -H "Accept: application/json" "https://api.atlassian.com/ex/confluence/{cloudid}/api/v2/pages"

However, 401 is returned.

According to this documentation for the Spaces endpoint:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-space/#api-group-space

...for a scoped token you must have the scope "read:space:confluence" which is a Granular Scope. Your scope list shows only Classic scopes, and the API documentation does not indicate those are supported for the Spaces endpoint.

Have you tried creating a token with that granular scope and then retried the API call?
