Facing issue (404) when creating a page using REST v2 API

Cristiano Sticca_r2k4r8

Hi community!

I'm facing an issue when I'm trying to create a page on confluence cloud using API v2.

When I use this

GET 'https://companyname.atlassian.net/wiki/api/v2/pages'

I have results correctly but when I use the API to create a new page I have 404

POST

https://companyname.atlassian.net/wiki/api/v2/pages

with this body

{

"spaceId": 21987908,

"status": "current",

"title": "Test",

"body": {

"representation": "storage",

"value": "Test"

}

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Cristiano Sticca

As mentioned here:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-page/#api-pages-post

404 Not Found

Returned if:

The space does not exist
The user does not have permissions to view the space
The user does not have the needed permissions to create a page in the provided space

Check the space permissions.

Ive tested this:

https:/my.atlassian.net/wiki/api/v2/pages with a POST and this body and it works.

{

    "spaceId": "33009",

    "status": "current",

    "title": "Interesting page title",

    "parentId": "33096",

    "body": {

        "representation": "storage",

        "value": "<p>The page content</p>"

    }

}

Regards

Aaron

Thanks @Aaron Pavez _ServiceRocket_ for your quick reply.
Can you help my on checking my permission? Because with my user I can create pages on the space so I don’t know where the problem about permissions is.
thanks again

Hi @Cristiano Sticca

Can you test the body I used? On yours, you are missing this:

"parentId": "...", you need to tell confluence which page is the parent page.

As for the permissions, what user API token are you using? yours?

regards

Cristiano Sticca_r2k4r8

Hi @Aaron Pavez _ServiceRocket_ yes I used also the same body you used but same error.
I’m using my API token the same I use for the other API (get pages) that works.

Maybe I’m wrong with the space and parent id? Is there a friendly way to get them, I mean get them directly from Confluence pages?

Hi!

How? I'm using the curl with Postman but don't know how to use it in the Atlassian page

Aaron Pavez _ServiceRocket_

With postman you dont need to user curl.

add the URL

in authorization

- Username: use your email

- Password: your token

the body is the one I've shared earlier. select raw and JSON at the end.

That should do it.

regards

Here you have:

1) the API that works (Get Pages)

2) the API that doesn't work (Create Page) Screenshot 2025-01-03 alle 21.16.24.png

Same url, same user, same API token ...

Hi , I am also experiencing the same issue this is my schema. I am facing the 404 issues in the backend when I try to find the space using the id. In the postman I am using the basic auth but in the schema below ouath-bearer auth. The api are

https://name.atlassian.net/wiki/api/v2/spaces?keys=name (get)

https://name.atlassian.net/wiki/api/v2/pages (post).

Have i made a mistake here?
