REST-API Create a page not working

Rainer Rauschenberg

I'm trying to reproduce the example for creating a page with a POST-request from https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/confluence-rest-api-examples/ but get a strange server-response. 'curl -v' says:

> POST /rest/api/content/327825/ HTTP/1.1
> Host: 52.174.142.121:8090
> Authorization: Basic cmF1c2NoZW5iZXJnOlN0YXJ0MA==
> User-Agent: curl/7.55.1
> Accept: */*
> Content-Type: application/json
> Content-Length: 170
>
* upload completely sent off: 170 out of 170 bytes
< HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed
< Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
< X-ASEN: SEN-11472629
< Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=689AA46918798EB74687224A6C6E874B; Path=/; HttpOnly
< X-Seraph-LoginReason: OK

< Allow: HEAD,DELETE,GET,OPTIONS,PUT
< X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
< Content-Length: 0

I looked around but can't figure out why I get the "405 Method Not Allowed" which I think means that the server isn't accepting the POST-request.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Dear @Rainer Rauschenberg,

beside setting the header

"accept", "application/json"

try to set additionally the following header

"Origin", "https://<FQDN of your Confluence server>"

You can read more details following this article.

So long

First of all: Thank you for answering.

I tried adding the additional headers, but that didn't change anything. But that lead me to checking if I may have done sth else wrong and I realised, that the url (which gave results with "GET") was slightly different from the example: I had http://<site>:<port>/rest/api/content/ instead of http://<site>:<port>/confluence/rest/api/content/ . After changing this I get "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" and a webpage (HTML) as return (no JSON), but I still can't find any newly created page ...

Can you please post your full request (URL + json data).

Rainer Rauschenberg

curl -v -u user:passwd -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "@data.json" http://server:port/confluence/rest/api/content/

With "data.json" containing:

{"type":"page","title":"new page", "ancestors":[{"id":327825}], "space":{"key":"TST"},"body":{"storage":{"value":"<p>This is another new page</p>","representation":"storage"}}}

"327825" is the id of an existing page.

curl had the following output:

Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, POST is already inferred.
