confluence rest api to create a blog post with basic authentication

Question

Hi,

I am using basic authentication to create a blog post through CURL and it was working before few days but suddenly somehow it stopped to work.

Code:

curl -H "Authorization: Basic Y29udHJhY3RvckBwcm9jY" -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8' -d '{"type":"blogpost","title":"new blog post",
"space":{"key":"devops"},"body":{"storage":{"value":"test","representation":
"storage"}}}' https://localhost:8080/wiki/rest/api/content/

It is giving the error: {"statusCode":403,"data":{"authorized":false,"valid":true,"errors":[],"successful":false},"message":"Could not create content with type blogpost"}

Please advise! Thanks in advance!

Hi Miller,

Yes, I am sure about the space key spelled correctly.

Thanks

Hi @ProCARE Contractor

Looking around I might check here https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/quot-statusCode-quot-403-quot-Could-not-create-content-with-type/qaq-p/5693

Are you sure that your space key is spelled correctly?

Hi Miller,

I've provided the all permission to individual user as described in above link, even though it fails. Also would like to inform that, It was working absolutely fine before few days.

Moreover, if i removed the "type" parameter then authentication turns into success.

Thanks
