How is possible to connect to Confluence in order to get data from another source?

API to get data from third party source like excel or any endpoint

Hi @Alberto_Fernandez and welcome to the community,

In order to do that you have to develop your own app using Forge or Connect. Or simply try an app from the marketplace that can do what you want.

To be hones not clear for me,

why Confluence not accept any endpoint with the respective authentication as another

software in the market, nowadays integration is based in EndPoints.

Confluence has a rest api. But you want to get data from another source and bring it to confluence, correct? From within confluence, e.g. inside a page, you can't make http requests to bring other data. But you can send e.g. from postman an http request to create data to confluence.

If you want to automate the way you create/update data to confluence from another source, then you have to do that outside of confluence, either by creating an app for confluence, or create your own code which will run with http requests from source A and send the payload with another https request to confluence.

Thanks a lot for your feedback.
