Automatic Confluence Cloud Space Exports possible?

Question

Hi guys, has anyone managed to automate space exporting for Confluence Cloud. I want to export important spaces as CSV or XML scheduled once a week, but just cant find a way to do it.

I found a script to automate the backup of the whole site, but that one is kinda useless because I can't even import the backup into another instance, cause a size limit.

Hi @Patrick

Welcome to community!

Are you doing this for backup migration purposes? If so i would recommend looking at some tools in marketplace meant for lower environment migrations
I would not recommend automating exports to CSVs or XML as any download of information from a confluence instance isn't going to be encrypted and Confluence can contain sensitive information, so it would be a security risk to download those files

Best,
