Confluence API Link

Benjamin Meier_0xoiql

Hello,

 

for university i need to create a short presentation about Confluence, focused on the API.

For this I need a to provide a sample API request on my Confluence instance.

I am using Postman to send requests. 

I've read this article: https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-rest-api-examples/ and tried sending the following:

GET https://<<my Confluence>>.atlassian.net:8080/confluence/rest/api/131664/child/attachment

in order to read the attachements of this page. (<<my Confluence>> is the name I gave my page.)

However, Postman returns "Could not get any response".

Is there something I am doing fundamentally wrong?

Unfortunately I don't have any experience with APIs so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you and have a nice day

Hi @Benjamin Meier 

I think the example in your documentation is outdated. 

Check the official REST API for Cloud. There, you can find the API for getting attachments. 

GET /wiki/rest/api/content/{id}/child/attachment

For your instance:

https://<<my Confluence>>.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/131664/child/attachment

Hope this helped

Regards, Dominic
