Authentication Error In The Python API.

Question

I am defining my confluence instance as seen below:

confluence = Confluence(
url="https://wiki.COMPANY.com",
        username="MYNAME@company.com",
        password="APIKEY")

And when I attempt the code:

content = confluence.get_page_by_id("ID.OF.SOME.PAGE.I.CREATED.AND.PUBLISHED")

I get the following error:

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 401 Client Error: for url: "PAGE I WANT"

Is this somehow and issue with the code or is it some issue with the permissions of my organization's confluence?

Hi @Cameron Pilla ,

Do you use https://github.com/atlassian-api/atlassian-python-api ?

Please note that for Cloud Confluence the URL will be yoursite.atlassian.net/wiki and for server any domain.

* For Cloud you use Username=email and pass = security token generated in your Atlassian profile
* For Server/DC you yse username={USERNAME} (not email)
