Hi, 

I can get the JSON from rest api using a browser but not Postman (Basic Authentication). I did not have this problem getting issues from Jira Service management and has been given permission to this space. Does anyone know why that is? 

I was trying to access this endpoint: /wiki/rest/api/space/EUW/content?expand=history

I got this error in Postman:

{
"statusCode": 404,
"data": {
"authorized": true,
"valid": true,
"errors": [],
"successful": true
},
"message": "com.atlassian.confluence.api.service.exceptions.NotFoundException: No space found with key : EUW"
}

I have the exact same problem.
Browser works, postman/python does not.
I have tried both with bearer token and basic auth.
I am using the same confluence user account for all 3 things.

@Alex Koxaras _Relational_ i have exactly the same problem as described by @Adlisyam Azhar 
To summarize:
- logged in the browser with credentials myuser/mypassword i can open page https://mywiki.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content?spaceKey=Test&title=SamplePage&expand=body.storage,version
- i get http response code 200
- i send request to same url in postman, adding basic auth with myuser/mypassword
- i get "com.atlassian.confluence.api.service.exceptions.NotFoundException: No space with key : Test"

- basically tried to send same request using curl and in my node js app, which uses this library fro communication with confluence https://www.npmjs.com/package/confluence-api. and all the time i get same results, except browser.

any updates on this issue?

@Adlisyam Azhar and welcome to the community,

According to the API doc:

Returned if any of the following is true:

  • There is no space with the given key.
  • The calling user does not have permission to view the space.

A schema has not been defined for this response code.

So I would either check the space key and the viewing permission of the authentication user you are using to make this http request.

I tried it on my instance and works as expected.
