Adding Internal Links Using REST API

Question

Hello, I am updating the content of the page by giving the update function the whole html code. Everything is working perfectly, except for tags that need to be linked to existing pages in confluence. I updated the href attribute to meet the url of the internal page to be linked to like '/wiki/spaces/spacekey/pages/pageid' and added the attributes that I found I should be adding to link this tag to the page properly, which are data-linked-resource-id data-linked-resource-version data-linked-resource-type So, the tag I am inserting looks like this: Page Name However, after the update is done successfully, I check the updated page html to find out that only href is updated successfully, while all the other attributes are ignored, and a new rel attribute is added. It looks like this: Page Name Is there a way to force adding these attributes that are being ignored? Or is there another proper way to insert tags linking to internal pages in confluence? Thank you.

Hi @Pramodh M I thought I had a solution for this but my solution does not work with pages created for the V2 Editor. The following is my code: def content_url(link, description=None, page=None): """Encode a Link to an anchor in this page or another page Args: ---- link: Name of anchor to link to description: alternative description to use, (or use link if ommited) page: page where anchor can be found (blank = current page) """ if description is None: description = link output = ''.format(link) if page: output += ''.format(page) output += '' output += '' return output Again it works in V1 editor created pages but not in V2 editor created pages. Can you tell me in concrete terms what to change in the syntax of the storage format required to encode the anchor since ac:anchor="" no longer works. Better still if there is a complete and unambiguous document explaining the storage format then please share it with us. Trial and error is a fickle master.

Hi @Hani Suliman

Use the below link for reference to add the reference in the same page using anchor tags
