Using atlassian python confluence with microsoft authenticated account?

Stephen Ellwood

I am an experienced python coder and want to access Confluence via Python.  I wrote a simple 2 line script to test that I had access and found that I had not

from atlassian import Confluence

confluence = Confluence(
url='https://my_company.atlassian.net/wiki/home',
username='stephen.ellwood@my_company.com',
password='my_password')
confluence.get_all_spaces(start=0, limit=500, expand=None)

I get the result:

HTTPError: 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url: https://my_company.atlassian.net/wiki/home/rest/api/space?limit=500

I am using the correct username and password but they are my Microsoft credentials; I do not have a direct confluence account.

Is there a different authentication method for users who use Microsoft Authenticated accounts?

Dear @Stephen Ellwood ,

that won't work. Basic auth is not allowed anymore for cloud. You need to take the Api token for the 'password', instead.

password='rahHWQ61rElyFHmsz9H6ABv')

You can generate your own Api token here: https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens

So long
