Update confluence page using rest API

Question

Hi team,

I wanted to edit the page and add some content to the page without deleting/removing the old content which is present on the page using rest API.

Could you please help me to achieve this using REST API?

Thanks,
Naveen

Tried that and getting the below error.
{
"data": {
"authorized": false,
"errors": [],
"successful": false,
"valid": true
},
"message": "com.atlassian.confluence.api.service.exceptions.BadRequestException: Content body cannot be converted to new editor format",
"statusCode": 400
}

While appending the content to the confluence page using the above REST API URL you have shared, Getting the below error.

{
"data": {
"authorized": false,
"errors": [],
"successful": false,
"valid": true
},
"message": "com.atlassian.confluence.api.service.exceptions.BadRequestException: Content body cannot be converted to new editor format",

First, you need to get the existing content using the REST API.

Then you need to append the new content to the end of the page and save it back
