How to fix PUT request sending a 200 but not updating the page content?

Julius Thompson Admin

Good afternoon, when trying to use PUT with Atlassian Rest API I receive a response code 200 on my request but none of the data on the page updates. I’m sending html, but have even tried to just send Hello World inside of the 

  "body": {"storage": {"value": ""}}

and still  receive this as a response body:

<script>
window.WRM=window.WRM||{};window.WRM._unparsedData=window.WRM._unparsedData||{};window.WRM._unparsedErrors=window.WRM._unparsedErrors||{};
WRM._unparsedData["com.atlassian.plugins.atlassian-plugins-webresource-plugin:context-path.context-path"]="\"\"";
WRM._unparsedData["com.atlassian.plugins.atlassian-plugins-webresource-rest:curl.cross-origin-resources"]="false";
if(window.WRM._dataArrived)window.WRM._dataArrived();</script><script>
window.WRM=window.WRM||{};window.WRM._unparsedData=window.WRM._unparsedData||{};window.WRM._unparsedErrors=window.WRM._unparsedErrors||{};
WRM._unparsedData["_wrmBatchContents"]="{\"js\":{\"jira.heritage.critical\":[\"jira.webresources:almond\",\"com.atlassian.plugins.jquery:jquery-1.7.2\",\"com.atlassian.plugins.jquery:jquery\",\"com.atlassian.plugins.atlassian-plugins-webresource-plugin:data\",\"com.atlassian.plugins.atlassian-plugins-webresource-plugin:context-path\",\"com.atlassian.plugins.atlassian-plugins-webresource-rest:curl\",\"com.atlassian.plugins.atlassian-plugins-webresource-rest:require-handler-v2\",\"com.atlassian.plugins.atlassian-plugins-webresource-rest:web-resource-manager\",\"com.atlassian.jira.jira-spa-module:superbatch-spa-critical\",\"_context:jira.heritage.critical\"]},\"css\":{}}";
if(window.WRM._dataArrived)window.WRM._dataArrived();</script>

Hi @Julius Thompson Admin,

Welcome to the community!

I gather that you are trying to update the contents of the page using REST API.

If that is the case, the general syntax is:

PUT /rest/api/content/{contentId}

Note that, to update a piece of content you must increment the 'version.number', supplying the number of the version you are creating.

Suppose if your page is currently having version 2, then use the below example to update the content of the page (should be in JSON format):

{
    "version": {
        "number": 2
    },
    "title": "My new title",
    "type": "page",
    "body": {
        "storage": {
            "value": "<p>New page data.</p>",
            "representation": "storage"
        }
    }
}

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Vamsi
