API Token

[Michael Nessler]

Hello, I'm new here, sorry for the beginner question:

I created an API token following the instructions on https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-account/docs/manage-api-tokens-for-your-atlassian-account/

If I understand the instructions correctly, I should change my confluence-user/password to <email of the Atlassian account>/<my api token> in curl. However, when I do this, the call no longer works:

curl -u <my confluenc user>:<my pw> -v "<URI of our REST API>/content/..." works well, the same call with email/token does not. Any hints?

And, why use this API token at all when Confluence-User/PW works well?

Thanks in advance, Michael

Hi @Michael Nessler ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

Are you sure you have cloud Confluence? Please, what is your Confluence URL?

Is it something like xxx.atlassian.net or something complete different? Thank you.
