I'm currently using Confluence server and I'm running into this error when I try to create a new page using the REST API. I am currently using an HTML macro that makes GET & POST requests using the Fetch API. I currently have no issues when making GET requests, only issues with POST requests.
function createPage() { let url = "http://exampledomain:8090/confluence/rest/api/content/" fetch(url, { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', mode: 'cors', cache: 'no-cache', credentials: 'same-origin', }, data: { 'type': 'page', 'title': "New Page", 'ancestors': [{ 'id': 97059352 }], // parent page id 'space': { 'key': "EXAMPLE_SPACE" }, 'body': { 'storage': { 'value': "<h1>New Page!</h1>", 'representation': 'storage', } }, } }) .then(response => console.log(response)) .catch(err => console.log(err.message))}
Dear @Laurence ,
try to set following headers:
Accept: application/jsonUser-Agent: x
So long
Thomas
EDIT: Now it's a 500 error, no longer that original error
Thanks for the reply.
I tried adding those headers, but still no luck. I did just realize that I probably need to pass an Authorization header in the format, which I just did, but still not working.
I tried submitting the requests with certain headers commented out as well with different combinations, but still nothings working.
I was referring to this tutorial for which headers to pass: https://pretagteam.com/question/create-a-confluence-page-using-python-api
function createPage() { let url = "http://exampledomain:8090/confluence/rest/api/content/" fetch(url, { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Authorization': 'Basic USER:PASS', 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Accept' 'application/json', 'User-Agent': 'x', // mode: 'cors', // cache: 'no-cache', // credentials: 'same-origin', }, data: { 'type': 'page', 'title': "New Page", 'ancestors': [{ 'id': 97059352 }], // parent page id 'space': { 'key': "EXAMPLE_SPACE" }, 'body': { 'storage': { 'value': "<h1>New Page!</h1>", 'representation': 'storage', } }, } }) .then(response => console.log(response)) .catch(err => console.log(err.message))}
The authorization header will not work like that, because you need to encrypt.
Try this link.
I recommend to use a browser REST extension, to build and test your POST rest call, first. If it works, then you can more or less "Copy & Paste" to python.
