Allow REST API GET request to expand body using .wiki format instead of body.storage?

Question

Is it possible to get pages body content in wiki format instead of storage? Similar to the POST/PUT methods but for GET requests?

You can get the content in HTML and convert it to Wiki.

Check out this post:

I did something similar in my case and it worked perfectly.

Hi @Pramodh M

Based on what I've seen that's only possible on POST request, that screenshot is from the `POST /wiki/rest/api/contentbody/convert/{to}` documentation, right?

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-content-body/#api-wiki-rest-api-contentbody-convert-to-post

That `representation` parameter is what I would have liked to also be available in the `GET /wiki/rest/api/content` request.

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-content/#api-wiki-rest-api-content-get

But not sure if there's a different API end-point that could allow this?

Ideally, what I want is this:

1. Get page content (in wiki format) via a GET request to the API.

2. Modify content locally (in wiki format).

3. Update Confluence site by sending modified page body (in wiki format) via a POST request to the API (this I'm already able to do).

Thanks for the help!

Hi @jpablobr

Welcome to the Community!!

I believe you can get the wiki format from the body object in API

Thanks
