REST API: styled view returning format errors

Question

I'm trying to return the CSS and HTML for a confluence page. The response comes back with a lot of other characters mixed into the HTML and CSS such as: 
, \, etc. Is there a way to get a cleaner response back?

Thank you,

Blake

Hey Diego, I have a confluence page containing a table and a link to a issue. the "body -> export_view -> value" that I recieve is the following:

prova provaProva Prova Prova

contatore_utilita	0

CRIP-19 - Getting issue details... STATUS

As you can see, the classes related to the table such as table-wrap, confluenceTable, and confluenceTh are not returned. Also classes on AUI are not returned, such as aui-lozenge ecc. Is it a correct behaviour? Can I find these classes somewhere else?

Hello Blake! Yes, this plugin will return the HTML code you are looking for. However, I went ahead and searched a little bit further. It seems that waht the API does is add \ backslashes to keep JSON coherent. The is displayed due to the fact that the browser does not understand it, thus showing the line break. You can achieve the same using a Python script: Installing what you need: sudo pip install requests sudo pip install json The script itself, using Confluence own REST API: import requests import json url = 'http:///rest/api/content/?expand=body.export_view' headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'} r = requests.get(url, auth=('admin', 'admin'), headers=headers) obj = json.loads(r.text) print(obj['body']['export_view']['value']) Remember to replace and And you can call the script like this: python confluence_body_export.py Let us know if you can implement the script!

Hey Diego,

Thank you for your response. So this will bring back the HTML code that I can use on my own site?
