How to create page based on an existing template with rest api or using atlassian-python-api?

Question

What method should I use and where to find a data structure for such a request?

I have an idea to form html in the request body, but it doesn't seem like a good idea

My template looks like this

Hi,

First of all I have to warn you that the solution below is for Confluence server. I don't know if it works for Confluence Cloud.

To create a page based in a template you can use the following URL a:

https://your_confluence_server/confluence_site_name/pages/createpage-entervariables.action?templateId=template_page_id&spaceKey=template_space_key&title=page_title&newSpaceKey=space_key_where_page_is_created&fromPageId=parent_page_id.

You can replace the full parameter title=page_title by only title if the page title is saved with the page (this is the default).

If the space is the same as the one where you have the template you can omit the parameter newSpaceKey

You can also omit the parameter fromPageId if the page you are creating is a child of the page where are currently located.

Hope it helps,

Vitor
