download file from my confluence page using python.

Naveen Vb

HI , I was trying to develop a script that download files from my confluence page , As of now i used python atlassian library and request module, But keep getting 401 even though i provided valid username and password 

 

My code

from atlassian import Confluence
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth 
import urllib.request 
confluence = Confluence(url='http://kittudemo123.atlassian.net',  
  username='username',    
password= 'password')
attachments_container = confluence.get_attachments_from_content(page_id=33110, start=0, limit=500)
attachments = attachments_container['results']
for attachment in attachments:       
 fname = attachment['title']        
download_link = confluence.url + attachment['_links'['download']    
    r = requests.get(download_link, auth = HTTPBasicAuth(confluence.username,confluence.password))   
     if r.status_code == 200:   
         with open(fname, "wb") as f:    
            for bits in r.iter_content():   
                 f.write(bits)

Hello @Naveen Vb!

I was able to find a thread on Stackoverflow, outside our community, that answers your request:

• [Stackoverflow] How to download a Confluence page attachment with Python? 

Looking at the code you provided, it seems that you have already looked into it! So, I would start by checking the authentication method and credentials that you are using.

If you want to, you can also raise your question in our Sister Community, the developer community! Here, take a look:
