Confluence python API gives ERROR-415 while updating page.

[Debopam Seal]

I am trying to programmatically update a confluence using the Python API. It is working the get page requests, I am able to retrieve contents from the page using page ID. The problem is for update requests, where it is giving "requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 415 Client Error: for url: https://confluence.<domain_name>.com/rest/api/content/". 

Here is the code that I am using :

---

confluence = Confluence(

    url='http://confluence.<domain_name>.com',

    token = PAT)

# This request is working, and page_contents is storing all the contents of the requested page

page_contents = confluence.get_page_by_id(page_id='XXXXXXX' expand='body.storage')

data = '<p>This is the new updated text of the page</p>'

# This is the request that is not working

confluence.update_page("XXXXXXX", 'Python Confluence Tests', data)

What I've tried :

• I've tried to create a new page to check if updating that works,
• http/https to see if that makes any difference
• I've also tried the REST API, using requests. It gives the same error for PUT requests.

Am I missing something obvious? Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi @Debopam Seal ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

415 means unsupported mediatype so please check if you defined 'Content-Type: application/json' in your call.

Hope this helps,

Hi Fabio. I am using the Python API, which sets the headers itself while sending away the request I guess. From what I understood, it does set the content-type to application/json, so that should not be the issue.
