I cannot access to Confluence from API

I cannot access to Confluence from API

Dear Person who may it concern,

I am struggling with access Confluence page from node.js.

error bad request returns when I run below node.js from terminal.

So, I think it is issue from Authentication.

Below is code that try to access confluence.

===========================================================

const PORT = 8000;

const express = require("express");
const axios = require("axios");
const cheerio = require("cheerio");

const app = express();

//Web scraping
const URL =
"https://confluence.xxxxxx.com/confluence/display/xxxxx/confluce page name here/";
const data = [];

axios(URL)
.then((response) => {
const htmlParser = response.data;
// console.log(htmlParser);
const $ = cheerio.load(htmlParser);

$(".table-wrap", htmlParser).each(function () {
const title = $(this)
.find(
'.teamcdummyprojectSchedule(Schedule)'
)
.text();
data.push({ title });
console.log(data);
});
})
.catch((error) => console.log(error));

===========================================================

Hi @Qwerky City ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

In order to retrieve content, you need to use a REST Api like the following https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-content/#api-wiki-rest-api-content-get

At that link you will find also an example for Node.js

Hope this helps,

Fabio

Dear @Fabio Racobaldo _Catworkx_

Thank you for your answer.

It seems I still have issue with login authentication to Confluence from API.

fetch('https://your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content',

{ method: 'GET', headers: { 'Authorization': `Basic ${Buffer.from( 'email@example.com:<api_token>' ).toString('base64')}`, 'Accept': 'application/json' } })
