How-to Use REST API to insert Multiexcerpt?

[Jim Spiller]

I have been using the REST API to build, and modify pages in the following manner using curl:

1) GET the content for entire page

2) modify the content programmatically

3) PUT the content for the entire page.

I have successfully added anchors, but when I try using the Multiexcerpt code, I get a Internal Server error. Is adding a Multiexcerpt possible through the API?

$ curl -H "Authorization: Basic <token>" -X PUT -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d @test4_body.html https://conuence.oraclecorp.com/confluence/rest/api/content/1666019278

I have captured the body.storage.value and use it as a template to make the modifications.

 This is the failing body.storage.value (test4_body.html).

Note: I have found that the value fails is there are any newlines in the string.
