Best way to get subpart only of page content with Confluence API?

Marchand

Hi,
Using Confluence API (not plugins), I want to get subpart only of page content (not entire page) in the aim to update it later.
I tried with page properties but I can’t get only unique property but a list of all pages with properties with next command (/rest/masterdetail/1.0/detailssummary/lines?cql=type=page&spaceKey=XXX&headings=XXX).
What is the best way to put data in the page structure and find easily with Confluence API?

Thank in advance for your answer.

Use the python module from here

https://pypi.org/project/atlassian-python-api/

It's easy to use. It has useful examples too.

Hi, thanks for the suggestions. Would you please provide an example of patching a specific part of the page, e.g. adding an admonition to the page? Thank you.

Thanks for the explanation.

Currently I am on PHP but I will look for Python because the API actually has 2 interesting methods (get_page_property and set_page_property)...

You would have to import packages and add authentication as shown in above docs.

Okay. Here is the example of getting the page content and replacing the content. I am removing {group3} references in the page to nothing.

def rest_page_update(space,page_id,title):
 content = confluence.get_page_by_id(page_id,expand='body.storage').get('body').get('storage').get('value')
 body = re.sub('{group3}','', content, flags = re.M)
 confluence.update_page(None, page_id, title, body, type='page')

Welcome!
