Is there a way to have a Confluence Doc show Computers in an Active Directory OU?

Question

I'm looking for a way to have a Confluence Doc that keeps an updated list of computers in a few Active Directory OUs that we have.

I was hoping there was a plugin that could do this, but if there isn't would it be possible to do an LDAP query, write the data to a file, and then have Confluence periodically read the file and check for updates?

If there isn't a scheduled service like that would it be possible to have the LDAP query overwrite a file that is set up to display inside of the confluence page?

This is a bit out of my wheelhouse, I only mention it to help you begin the journey.

Here is Atlassian's help pages on the REST API:

A quick googling did produce some information specific to PowerShell + REST API that might get you started:

Here is a non-REST solution for PowerShell to Confluence:

How do you mean? I can create output files thorough PowerShell fairly easily. Are you saying that the REST API can be set up to read that file?

How would I bring that into a specific Confluence Doc?

If you can find another program or code that does what you want, see if it has REST support and use the REST API in Confluence to read in and display the output.
