Error while connecting Python to Confluence server using confluence PAT

girija kakani

I have been trying to connect python to my org confluence server which is SSO enabled.

I have used the below python script but getting 401 error. However when I tried the same for personal account with no SSO enable it worked. I generated the PAT within confluence settings.

import os

from atlassian import Confluence

confluence = Confluence(

    url=os.getenv("CONFLUENCE_URL"),

    username=os.getenv("CONFLUENCE_USER"),

    password=os.getenv("CONFLUENCE_TOKEN")

)

if confluence.page_exists(space="myspacename", title="myspacetitle"):

    print("page exists")

else:

    print("page not found")

Hi @girija kakani 

I wonder if you need to authenticate to Confluence cloud slightly differently:

from atlassian.confluence import ConfluenceCloud

confluence_cloud = ConfluenceCloud(
    url="https://your-domain.atlassian.net",
    token="your-api-token"
)

 

...as opposed to using the username and password parameters, which is what we used back in the server/datacenter days.
