Can we use Rest API to uninstall an application from the marketplace without the user and password

[Nissan Almog]

Hi,

I'm trying to call this endpoint:

curl -I --user ${ADMIN_USRNAME}:${ADMIN_PWD} -H 'Accept: application/json' -X DELETE ${CONFLUENCE_BASE_URL}'/rest/plugins/1.0/'${APP_KEY}'-key' 2>/dev/null

which uninstall a marketplace App using REST API(the API from here). I don't have access to the user and password, only to the access_token(JWT). Is there a way to uninstall it with the access_token or any other way?

Hi @Nissan Almog 

Uninstalling a Confluence Marketplace app directly with an access token -JWT is not possible.

The method you referenced depends on basic authentication with username and password.

• Access tokens in Confluence are used for accessing data or performing specific actions within an app, not for administering the platform itself.
• Uninstalling an app involves modifying the server configuration, which requires administrative privileges which are granted through username and password.

More information can be referred in the article - Uninstalling apps | Atlassian Support | Atlassian Documentation

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
