Confluence page modification

Question

Hi All,

I have recently migrated contents from Trac wiki to Confluence, We have nearly 1400 pages under this space.

I wanted to automate the Pages by adding TOC macro on top of each page, seach for code section within page and insert Code block macro and inside it the code should be pasted.

Can anyone please hep me how can i move ahead with this.. I am looking for some kind of python script to start but wondering the point to get kick start.

Thank You,

Akash

I also mentioned the WebDAV plugin. You could for instance map Confluence to a drive letter and then just use you native filesystem APIs in python to edit the pages.

There is also the SOAP API and the RSET API that you might check into. If it is a one time thing though I would just get the WebDAV stuff setup. You could have it mapped to a drive in under five minutes. Then just script against it as if it were files and folders.

Hi Davin,

I have tried using CLI but there issues in communicating with Confluence instance, I even wonder even if it works for me to making bulk modification on every page as each page need to be traced and look for Heading levels based on heading level an TOC macro should be inserted, trace whole page and look for code block and insert that code into Code block macr.

Can you please let me know if there could be any other option like writing script to do these modifications, such as XML RPC, I ahve gone with these and found few method likes storePage, updatePage, but none matching my requirements.

Thank You,
