Export all Confluence Links

Question

So just a quick question.

I have been asked to export all pages in a Space from confluence with

* Title
* Author
* Last Modified by
* Date modified
* Link

Is there any plugin or any way i would be able to spit out a report with these criteria as i have been manually doing it for the past week and it seems to get harder and harder.

Elliott, Thank you for confirming. I would recommend that you obtain your information using one of the following ways: REST API This is likely the best way to retrieve data from Confluence in a bash or Confluence script. Have a look at Confluence REST API Examples for examples of terminal and python commands for using the API. The URL below will return a JSON list of all pages in the instance (replace with the base URL for your instance): http:///rest/api/content?type=page&start=0&limit=99999 You can then use python to parse through the JSON to find the ID and title of each page (useful article on JSON parsing with Python: Working with JSON data in Python). Database Your other option is to obtain the data using the database. While the REST API is best to use when using along with a script, you can still obtain a list of page titles and IDs using this database query: SELECT title, contentid FROM content WHERE contenttype = 'PAGE' AND prevver IS NULL AND content_status = 'current'; When accessing the database, please be sure you are familiar with the process, and if not, please speak to your database administrator. In addition, always make a backup and do not write any changes to the database unless you have that backup and Confluence is completely stopped. You will need to adjust your database commands in order to get the remainder of the details that you need from the database, so do be sure to pair up with your DBA if you need any assistance with that.

No the actual link. for example this pages link is

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Export-all-Confluence-Links/qaq-p/980807

Basically I need to export the links so users can click on them and it will take it to that page on the actual confluence

Hi Elliott,

You could do this by writing a database query that will access your Confluence database and obtain that information.

I can look into what this would be but can you please tell me what you mean by the variable "link"? Do you mean if there are any links on the page, or something else?
