View Page Source of a Version of the Page

Question

Hi I have been using the Confluence API to view the source code of a page /plugins/viewsource/viewpagesrc.action?pageId= What I need is to view a version of that page. I was hoping that /plugins/viewsource/viewpagesrc.action?pageId=&pageVersion=70 This only showed the source of the latest page and not the version 70 I tried through confluence and selecting page history and clicking version https://myesure.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=2681897831&pageVersion=70 And from the options selected "View Source". Choosing that option show the correct source ???? Does anyone know of a method to do this? Rob

I know this is a bit old, but was looking for similar. I think if you use /plugins/viewsource/viewpagesrc.action?pageId= with the version ID where the pageID should go, it may work. How I arrived at this: When in the version you want, right-click the 'View source' link and 'Copy link address'

Hello Rob,

Thank you for raising this on Atlassian Community! I found a thread from earlier last year that might help you:

* Confluence API - get page content from historical versions

Take a look and see if the suggestions work for you. If you still have trouble, I recommend using our Atlassian Developer Community instead. The folks there are more familiar with the REST-API and developing for Atlassian Products, so they may be able to help you.

Take care,

Shannon
