How to create a connection using Confluence API and Python.

Kompal Sithta

I am trying to develop a connection with the confluence pages using api but I am getting an error again and again:

 

ConnectionError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='confluence.hrs.io', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /rest/api/content (Caused by NameResolutionError("<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x7f9e571e3370>: Failed to resolve 'confluence.hrs.io' ([Errno -2] Name or service not known)"))

 I need solution for creating a successful connection using the API.

 

Thanks,

Kompal

Hi and welcome ,

The error message you're encountering indicates that your Python script is unable to resolve the hostname. Could be Incorrect URL or Network Issues or DNSA Problems

Here is a simple example to use pyhton to connect to the api 

---

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

# Replace with your Confluence credentials and URL
username = 'your_username'
api_token = 'your_api_token' # Use an API token instead of a password
url = 'https://confluence.hrs.io/rest/api/content'

# Make the request
try:
response = requests.get(url, auth=HTTPBasicAuth(username, api_token))
response.raise_for_status() # Raise an error for bad responses
print(response.json()) # Print the JSON response
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

i think 

• Verify the URL and your network connection.
• Check for DNS issues and firewall settings.
