confluence should support integrating its editor in a iframe.

Question

Hi Confluence Team,

As we know the confluence Editor is feature rich and heavily engineered. Hence they should also provide support to use it in an iframe.

As there is a rest API available for editing a confluence page, but there are a lot of limitations such as attachments are not supported while adding through rest API, custom css are also not supported, and the many more.

Although it would have been great if we could have just provided page id and the page content would be directly available in a iframe, with all content and confluence rich features.

Let me know your thoughts upon this, as it would be quite easy for you to develop this feature, creating a great impact on the developer community.

Thanks,

Hi,

I am trying to show/edit the confluence page via rest API. But confluence doesn't provide exact page content via their API, which results in UI distortion when I display/publish the content.

Hence I believe confluence should make it easy for us to integrate the editor, upon some sort of authorization.

Also Is there any API from where I can get the exact HTML Content?

I tried

for fetching content:-

/wiki/rest/api/content/{pageId}?expand=body.storage, body.editor,  body.view, body.export_view,body.styled_view,body.atlas_doc_format,body.editor2,body.anonymous_export_view,body.dynamic

but non of the above gives the exact html same as that of confluence.

for publishing content:-

/wiki/rest/api/content/{pageId}

{    "version":{        "number":3    },    "type": "page",    "id": "9240633",    "title": "content by lighting keyboard with that title",    "body":{        "editor"[as well as "storage"]:{            "value"content got from fetch content api along with some of my updates",            "representation": "storage"        }    }}
