API for token generation for external application.

Sweta Pawar

We trying to integrate Confluence with our application as part of help and support.

We want to add authorization mechanism where a user having a particular access in application will be able to view or search information related to his account only.

Kindly share an API for token generation.

Hi @Sweta Pawar ,

Welcome to Atlassian community.

Below URL will help you create tokens in atlassian account for confluence cloud.

Manage-api-tokens-for-your-atlassian-account

The above page has info like how to create and use an API token. I hope above info helps.

Have a good day!

Thanks,

Hi Srinath,

Thankyou for reverting.

Actually we are working on integrating of Confluence where all our documentation is saved with our manufacturing application as part of help and support feature. We tested some api on postman using username and password but it's not working and instead if we use token id it works.

As part of authorization features we will be restricting access of the users based on role so a user with particular role will be able to view information related to his role only. As there are many users it is not possible to give access to individual users.

So we are looking out for an API which can generate token.

Hi Srinath,

Followed the step given in page https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-account/docs/manage-api-tokens-for-your-atlassian-account/#Use-an-API-token.

But it is not working. We need an API which can generate the token.

Hi @Sweta Pawar

which kind of deployment do you use? Is is Confluence Cloud or Confluence Server?

Maybe you are referring to Personal Access Tokens?
https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/using-personal-access-tokens-1026032365.html

At least I can share, they can issued via REST API.

Other than that and assuming you are using Confluence Cloud did you probable mean something like OAuth access tokens?

https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/manage-oauth-access-tokens/

By closer looking into your question it semme to me you successfully created an API token for some users but look for a way doing that programmatically (in other words authentication with a super user for Atlassian Account and creating API based an API token for users, is that correct?).

According to this documentation...:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/admin/user-management/rest/api-group-users/#api-users-accountid-manage-api-tokens-get

... it seems not being possible. Getting the API tokens of the users and deleting the API tokens is possible. But the page does not describe an option to set an API token.

Daniel
