Code Macro via Confluence REST API

Zu Jiry

Hello, I want to send a codeblock macro via REST API. I am using Pythons Confluence library and this code snippet: 

<ac:structured-macro ac:name="code">

    <ac:parameter ac:name="title">test.py</ac:parameter>

    <ac:plain-text-body>

    def authenticate():

      confluence = Confluence(

          url='https://confluence.custom.de',

          username=os.environ['CONFLUENCE_USER'],

          password=os.environ['CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN'],

          cloud=False

      )

      return confluence

    </ac:plain-text-body>

</ac:structured-macro> 

Neither plain-text-body nor rich-text-body are recognized by Confluence. The result is an empty codeblock.

My question therefore: How can I add text to the codeblock in this structure?

Hi @Zu Jiry 

Can you try with: 

<ac:structured-macro ac:name="code">
 <ac:plain-text-body>
   <![CDATA[def authenticate():
      confluence = Confluence(
          url='https://confluence.custom.de',
          username=os.environ['CONFLUENCE_USER'],
          password=os.environ['CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN'],
          cloud=False
      )
      return confluence
   ]]>
  </ac:plain-text-body>
</ac:structured-macro>

Let me know if this worked.

Regards, Dominic
