Seasrch API call returning 403

Jon Vaughan_9tbe6o

Hi All,

We are using the api to extract values from a library.

It has been working fine for about 4 years, however sometime in the last few months it stopped working.

The call is :

GET /wiki/rest/api/content/search?cqlContext=%7B%22spaceKey%22:%22IN%22%7D&cql=label=integration_technical_design&cursor=&status=current&expand=history.lastUpdated,body.storage,metadata&limit=25

returning this:

Error: 403: com.atlassian.confluence.api.service.exceptions.SSStatusCodeException: CQL was parsed but the search manager was unable to execute the search. Error message: com.atlassian.confluence.api.service.exceptions.SSStatusCodeException: There was an illegal request passed to XP-Search Aggregator API : HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden

We have checked the user and API key and we can see that is working as it gets to the search, but errors after that.

Any ideas ?

So I fixed the issue.

We are using a particular service user to call the search API.

I logged onto confluence through the web-page and went to the specific areas and it started working.

Hi @Jon Vaughan ,

It's hard to guess what could be the reason.

I'd try the following 2 things first:

Try to copy the CQL search URL into an active browser session and see if you get any results. If so, there might be an authentication problem with the API.
Ask Atlassian support for a re-index of the site

Good luck.

Hope we can get an answer from support.
