Copying Pages to Another Confluence with Attachments

Michael Winters_5jjgl9

I need to copy a Parent Page and all of its Children Pages (and their attachments) from one confluence site to another (both server based). I have tried to use the following code but the /copy url for all my pages returns 404 for me. I also tried another way using requests.post but that didn't copy over the attachments correctly. How can I copy a group of child pages from one confluence to another via python script?

import json

import requests

# Source Confluence API URL

source_page_id = "dummy_page_id"

source_url = f"https://source_confluence_instance.com/rest/api/content/{source_page_id}"

# Destination Confluence (target) API URL

destination_page_id = "dummy_destination_page_id"

destination_url = f"https://destination_confluence_instance.com/rest/api/content/{destination_page_id}/copy"

# Bearer tokens for source and destination

source_token = "dummy_source_token"

destination_token = "dummy_destination_token"

# Set up headers for source Confluence API request

source_headers = {

"Authorization": f"Bearer {source_token}",

"Accept": "application/json"

}

# Get page content from source Confluence

source_response = requests.get(source_url, headers=source_headers)

if source_response.status_code == 200:

 source_page_data = source_response.json()

# Define payload to include content and attachments for copying

 payload = json.dumps({

"copyAttachments": True,

"copyPermissions": True,

"copyProperties": True,

"copyLabels": True,

"copyCustomContents": True,

"copyDescendants": True,

"destinationPageId": destination_page_id,

"titleOptions": {

"replace": "",

"search": ""

 }

 })

# Set up headers for destination Confluence API request

 destination_headers = {

"Authorization": f"Bearer {destination_token}",

"Accept": "application/json",

"Content-Type": "application/json"

 }

# Send the page copy request to destination Confluence

 destination_response = requests.post(destination_url, data=payload, headers=destination_headers)

if destination_response.status_code == 200:

print("Page successfully copied to the destination Confluence instance.")

else:

print(f"Failed to copy page to destination. Error: {destination_response.status_code} - {destination_response.text}")

else:

print(f"Failed to fetch page from source Confluence. Error: {source_response.status_code} - {source_response.text}")

I tried following https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-content---children-and-descendants/#api-wiki-rest-api-content-id-copy-post

Hi @Michael Winters and welcome to the Community.

I can offer a non-programmatic solution that does the same (I've done it multiple times on Server).

You can customize an XML space export to specific sections/pages of the tree and import it to the Target site.

(If space keys are an issue, you can create a new space on the Source site, copy the specific pages, and export/import that in-between space for the same result).
