Urgent: By which permission (Api key) can use to fetch all pages count (including-Restricted7 dele)

Ankit Rastogi_xnmd5d

Requirement: Urgently: By which permission (API key) we can use API to fetch all pages count (including-Restricted & deleted) per space.

Currently Using: I am using '/wiki/rest/api/content?' API to fetch page counts with my API key(credentials) but it is not giving page counts which are restricted & deleted on the cloud. However, if I am running '/rest/api/content?' on the on-prem system it is giving page count including restricted & deleted pages

Why: We are migrating our confluence instance to the cloud so want to compare page count per space after migration to make sure nothing was missed because as we did the same on test instance and we observed few pages missed in migration but migrated successfully when we re-run again.

Hi @Ankit Rastogi , 

I'm afraid you can't in Confluence Cloud API, the doc is clear: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-content/#api-wiki-rest-api-content-get

"Only content that the user has permission to view will be returned."

But with the expand options you can view where restrictions are and who can edit or view:

• restrictions.read.restrictions.user returns the users that have permission to read the content.
• restrictions.read.restrictions.group returns the groups that have permission to read the content. Note that this may return deleted groups, because deleting a group doesn't remove associated restrictions.
• restrictions.update.restrictions.user returns the users that have permission to update the content.
• restrictions.update.restrictions.group returns the groups that have permission to update the content. Note that this may return deleted groups because deleting a group doesn't remove associated restrictions.

I hope it helps a bit.

Cheers,
Dam.
