How can we archive and restore archived Confluence content via REST API?

[Crystal Pang]

How we can archive Confluence content like archive content in Space using the REST API? In Space, I noticed we can leave a note when archiving the Space content.




Related to the question in Is there a way to restore archived page via REST API?

Saw in the PUT Update Page REST API, it can change 'deleted' Confluence Page's status to 'current'. Is there any REST API or Graphql mutation method that able to change archived content (page, database, smartlink, whiteboard) status to 'current'?

You can archive pages although it is experimental: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-content/#api-wiki-rest-api-content-archive-post

I don't know about "restore", but maybe manipulating the page's status (or state) field can work (less likely).

It seems indeed you can and looks that I missed that info. I was searching on API v2 instead of 1. Nice catch Aron!

[Aron Gombas _Midori_]

@Alex Koxaras _Relational_ Note that API v2 is somewhat limited compared to v1, even if v1 is already considered "legacy".

Hi @Crystal Pang and welcome to the community,

Not to my knowledge. If you could archive or restore archived pages, that API would be in there somewhere.

[Crystal Pang]

@Alex Koxaras _Relational_ based on the documentation, no API can restore an Archived page.

Exactly

Is there any other method to restore archive pages like using GraphQL?

[Alex Koxaras _Relational_]

Have you already seen this? https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/graphql/#queries_page

[Alex Koxaras _Relational_]

And this most likely https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/graphql/#mutations_updateCurrentPage

[Crystal Pang]

@Alex Koxaras _Relational_ Unfortunately the https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/graphql/#mutations_updateCurrentPage can only update the content page body.
