Confluence python API gives ERROR-415 while updating page.

Question

I am trying to programmatically update a confluence using the Python API. It is working the get page requests, I am able to retrieve contents from the page using page ID. The problem is for update requests, where it is giving "requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 415 Client Error: for url: https://confluence..com/rest/api/content/". Here is the code that I am using : confluence = Confluence( url='http://confluence..com', token = PAT)# This request is working, and page_contents is storing all the contents of the requested pagepage_contents = confluence.get_page_by_id(page_id='XXXXXXX' expand='body.storage')data = '

This is the new updated text of the page

'# This is the request that is not workingconfluence.update_page("XXXXXXX", 'Python Confluence Tests', data) What I've tried : * I've tried to create a new page to check if updating that works, * http/https to see if that makes any difference * I've also tried the REST API, using requests. It gives the same error for PUT requests. Am I missing something obvious? Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi Fabio. I am using the Python API, which sets the headers itself while sending away the request I guess. From what I understood, it does set the content-type to application/json, so that should not be the issue.

Hi @Debopam Seal ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

415 means unsupported mediatype so please check if you defined 'Content-Type: application/json' in your call.

Hope this helps,

Fabio
