how to access a table on a page via the Confluence Rest API

StuartJames.McIntosh

Using Python and the Confluence Rest API I can return the JSON for a page, given its page id, e.g. https://confluence.xxx.com/rest/api/content/1234567890

within that page I created a small table. I want to 1. find the table and 2. return the contents of the table.

From reading the documentation I think I need to expand the body of the page, but I'm having trouble determining the correct syntax for the URL.

Could someone please help???

Hi @StuartJames.McIntosh ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

You need the following rest API https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-content/#api-wiki-rest-api-content-get to get content and then find your portion of page.

Hope this helps,

Fabio

@Fabio Racobaldo _Catworkx_ thanks for your help. I'm now able to see the table information using the following url, but it's all in html, which I guess I'd have to parse to extract the data.

https://confluence.xxx.com/rest/api/content/123456789?expand=body.view

Is there a better way to get at the table, e.g. by somehow treating it as a Confluence object within that page? Or will I have to parse the html to get at the data within the table?

-Stuart.

any news about this issue? I am facing the exact issue.

Agreed. Also trying to download a table from the Confluence API and it's downloading the entire HTML of the page and not the table object specifically...
