Confluence Rest API - How to connect with Node.js

[Roberto L]

Hello Community,

I am having major issues trying to connect to Confluence via its REST API's.

I am utilizing Node.js as my language.

In order to connect to REST API's I am using node-rest-client dependency.

My code is as follows:

var Client = require('node-rest-client').Client;

//Credentials to log into Confluence
var loginArgs = {
 data: {
 "username": "myUser",
 "password": "myPassword"
 },
 headers: {
 "Content-Type": "application/json"
 } 
};

//REST call to my Confluence 
client.post("http://confluence_host.com:8080/api/session", loginArgs, function(data, response){
 
 if (response.statusCode == 200) {
 console.log('succesfully logged in, session:', data.session);

 var session = data.session;
}
});

I utlize the same code to extract data from Jira utilizing its REST API's. But Jira has a auth/1/session API and for somereason I cant seem to find any auth API for Confluence.

In Jira, the response from the session API would be cookies that I add to my header for me to validate my other REST API call's.

I cannot figure it out for Confluence.

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction.

The session endpoint is not available for Confluence:

I hope this helps.
