Confluence API authorization

Question

Hi, we are going to use Confluence from 3d party service (mostly create pages).

Is there a way to use Confluence API from 3d party service to create pages as a user
using an API key or Oauth token?

Thanks.

It's not so easy to find the answer, because of complexity of documentation.

But the solution is pretty simple.

You need to use Rest Api

And to authorize rest api, you need to use Api Token:

So, just go to https://id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens#, and create a new token.

Thank you.
