Database (Beta) Rest API Reference

[Stephan Wiechert]

Hi there, 

we would like to implement an automation which extracts all the VMs out of our VMware vCenter and put the result into a Confluence Database. 

Regarding this, we need the API reference for Confluence Databases. 

What we try to achieve:

1.) Initial Import of vCenter Vms into Confluence Database

2.) Update Confluence Database incrementally on a scheduled basis, which includes removing and updating datasets (rows). 

Is this already possible (how?) and if not, is it planned?

Thanks in advance

Stephan

Hi @Stephan Wiechert ,

There is no user accessible API for Confluence Databases, and it is not (yet) on the official roadmap.

Hi Marc, 

Thanks for your response.

That are sad news, because a database get its fully benefit onyl when it can be automatically updated, from my point of view this is an essential part of any database. 

Every DB that I am aware of has the ability to update, delete, modify rows by a query language, even excel has this feature!

So I vote for something similar as an API Rest command bundle. 

Couldn't be that hard to develop I would say. 

In the meantime I will check if I can figure out the actual commands within the Webview, which usually also just API calls.

I badly want to back Jira Service Management forms, as well as Jira fields using these databases.

Disappointing, but at the same time; as soon as we start using API's for these we become dependent on them. The functionality still feels early beta, which implies danger in becoming dependent.
