confluence automation - freelancer

Patrick S_ Stuckenberger

I am not sure if atlassian allows this post, we will see.

 

are there freelancers available, who can help us with some automation rules?

 

it is mostly about pages which need to be altered (replace values) or add something to a pagetree and keep the prefix. 

 

example pagetree:

project type 1

* OE-1 project one

 ** OE-1 status report

* OE-5 project space aliens

** OE-5 status report

 

I also have setup a freelancer campaign 455037908

Try this

📌 Use Case: Replace values across a pagetree

🔁 Step-by-step logic (in pseudo-code / scriptable logic):

1. Get child pages of a parent (e.g., “project type 1”)
2. Loop through pages where title matches pattern (e.g., OE-*)
3. Fetch page content (body.storage)
4. Perform value replacement
5. Push updated content via PUT

 

✅ Sample Python Snippet using REST API:

import requests
import json

BASE_URL = "https://<your-instance>.atlassian.net/wiki"
AUTH = ("your-email", "your-api-token")

def get_child_pages(parent_id):
url = f"{BASE_URL}/rest/api/content/{parent_id}/child/page?limit=100"
response = requests.get(url, auth=AUTH)
return response.json().get('results', [])

def update_page_content(page_id, title, new_body, version):
url = f"{BASE_URL}/rest/api/content/{page_id}"
payload = {
"id": page_id,
"type": "page",
"title": title,
"version": {"number": version + 1},
"body": {
"storage": {
"value": new_body,
"representation": "storage"
}
}
}
headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}
response = requests.put(url, auth=AUTH, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(payload))
print(f"Updated: {title} (Status: {response.status_code})")

def process_pages(parent_id):
pages = get_child_pages(parent_id)
for page in pages:
page_id = page['id']
title = page['title']
version = page['version']['number']

body_url = f"{BASE_URL}/rest/api/content/{page_id}?expand=body.storage,version"
content = requests.get(body_url, auth=AUTH).json()
body = content['body']['storage']['value']

# Replace content logic here
new_body = body.replace("OldValue", "NewValue")

if new_body != body:
update_page_content(page_id, title, new_body, version)

# Example usage
process_pages("<PARENT_PAGE_ID>")
