How to add and query metadata to a confluence page

Question

Hi,

how can I define metadata or key:value elements for a confluence page?

I would like to define several key:value pairs on a confluence page and then query the value through REST API for a given key.

Example (key:value)

"Software Version": "1.0"

"Message of the day": "The next release will be delivered to customer"

I have found a way how to define metadata using the metadata plugin, but it does not get across through the REST API. REST API will only give me information like "currentuser", "_expandable" and so on. REST API call: ".../api/content/Testpage"

We are using Confluence 6.7.2

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Bernhard

Hi Danyal,

sigghh. Umm, is there any other possibility to achieve the same, like any type of Markup Language?

This is not possible by default. You need to write your own REST Service Plugin or use content properties
