How to grant permission for Confluence API to access Page Tree macro?

[Alex Guo]

I am trying to access the HTML content of a Confluence page using this API: https://xxxx.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/{pageId}?expand=body.view However, I get an error message like this:

<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"spaceKey\" value=\"WDOCS\" />\n\n            <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"i18n-pagetree.loading\" value=\"Loading...\" />\n            <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"i18n-pagetree.error.permission\" value=\"Unable to load page tree. It seems that you do not have permission to view the root page.\" />\n            <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"i18n-pagetree.eeror.general\" value=\"There was a problem retrieving the page tree. Please check the server log file for more information.\" />\n

I can see the content if I visit the link directly. But when I use the API, it says I don’t have permission. I think this is because the Confluence page uses the Page Tree macro. How can I grant permission for the API to access the Page Tree macro?

Hi @Alex Guo and welcome,

rest API have not specific permissions and they should follow the caller user permission. It is weird that you can access page via browser and you have error using apis.

Please verify that user used for rest API is the same that you are using to access page via browser.

Hi, thank you for your answer. I'm sure that the user I used for rest API is the same as that I used in browser
