Python Script or REST API Endpoints for Space Backup and Restore in Confluence Data Center

surendra prabha

I am working with Confluence Data Center and using a local PyCharm setup to automate space backups and restores.

Could anyone share Python scripts or recommend REST API endpoints for:

1. Backing up a Confluence space to my local machine

2. Restoring a space from a local backup

I am looking for solutions that integrate with Confluence Data Center via Python. Any help with REST API documentation or sample scripts would be appreciated!

Hi @surendra prabha 

Welcome to community!

To my knowledge for using python with confluence it would need to be something accessible in the API. I do not believe space backups are something that can be accessed via API. If your system has ScriptRunner you could make a scriptrunner job that exported confluence spaces on a set amount of time to an external machine. It would be recomended to do this if needed to something like AWS rather than a local machine

In regards of restoring a space from a backup this would need to be done by a Confluence System Admin

Best,
