How to get search result from wiki to our webapp

Anish4

We are developing a new webapp like a forum for our company network. Webapp have a search tab which provides results from our new forum. Now we are planning to integrate wiki(confluence) search result with our web app search. So, How can we integrate wiki search result with our webapp results. Is there is any plugins or Api for doing this task.

Check out the REST API. There are methods for hooking into Confluence search.

Since the documentation is not much descriptive, how we can implement searching a query using REST API..

Here are some examples. There are even some for searching content.

Davin,

It looks like (at least with Confluence 5.5.2) that the closest API endpoint I could find on the REST documentation page https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/REST/latest/for search usage, "http://example.com/rest/api/content?title=something&type=page", will only return pages with the exact case sensitive title 'something'. This is definitely not useful for API searching from another webapp.

The now Deprecated REST API Prototype does appear to have a search capability (http://example.com/rest/prototype/1/search?query=something&type=page), but since it is a now deprecated API (and only a Prototype to begin with) it probably isn't a solution to use in any production capacity.

I think I may spin this off into a separate question here on Atlassian Answers since I am having this issue as well (I'll link it here if I do).
