Hello guys.

I need to update a page using REST API and Python, but I can not do it. I get these errors:

DEBUG :09/08/2023 12:07:01 Starting new HTTP connection (1): confluence.xxx.net:80
DEBUG :09/08/2023 12:07:01 http://confluence.xxx.net:80 "PUT /rest/api/content/534283271 HTTP/1.1" 301 169
DEBUG :09/08/2023 12:07:01 Starting new HTTPS connection (1): confluence.xxx.net:443
DEBUG :09/08/2023 12:07:01 https://confluence.xxx.net:443 "PUT /rest/api/content/534283271 HTTP/1.1" 415 0

This is what I do:

url = "http://confluence.xxx.net/rest/api/content/534283271"

# New content for the page
new_content = """ <p>This is the updated content for the page.</p> """

payload = {'username': 'bob', 'email': 'bob@bob.com'}

try:
    # Make the API request to update the page
    response = requests.put(url,
                            auth = HTTPDigestAuth(dConnection.get('username'),
                                                  dConnection.get('password')),
                            headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"},
                            data = payload,
                            verify = False
    )
...
...

Tried different options like changing headers, data content, etc without success.

Note: I can read from Confluence using REST API without issues.

Perhaps someone can show me the light 😊

Hi, @Javier Lopez 

As I see, you're trying to connect to http resource, it's 80 port, then your request is redirected  (301 status code) to https resource, 443 port.

After that you're receiving error (415 code) that payload is invalid. Looks like you need to check body of request.

Usually request, to update body, looks like:

Address:

PUT /rest/api/content/<PAGEID>?expand=body.storage

Payload:

{
 "type":"page",
 "title":"TITLE OF PAGE", 
 "version":{"number":n},
 "body":{
 "storage":{
 "value":"BODY OF PAGE",
 "representation":"storage"
 }
 }
}

Oh, and if you're using https to access service, change url variable, to 

url = "https/confluence.xxx.net/rest/api/content/534283271?expand=body.storage"
