How to the view count of a page in confluence using Rest Api?

[BAVITHRA R]

I want to get the details of how many views of my page using Rest Api, is this possible?

Huh, it looks like there is an API for analytics, even for the Free plan (I just tested on my free test site): Confluence Analytics APIs 

These are the two endpoints available:

GET /wiki/rest/api/analytics/content/{contentId}/views

Get the total number of views a piece of content has.

GET /wiki/rest/api/analytics/content/{contentId}/viewers

Get the total number of distinct viewers a piece of content has.

Because my first search found this, I'll in include this info about paid options: 

This bug (CONFCLOUD-67453 ) notes that there is not an API for the Analytics for Confluence Cloud feature that is  available for Premium and Enterprise Plans:

• View analytics to see how content is performing 

Lastly, there are two paid add-ons for Confluence Cloud, one of which advertises that raw data can be exported via a REST API:

• Page View Analytics for Cloud

The other add-on does not mention any API access:

• Space Analytics

@Darryl LeeDoes this work for both Confluence Cloud and Confluence Server?  Are there even separate APIs for Cloud vs Server? Thanks!

Hi @Brandon Valley --

It looks like Analytics, including Page Views were added to Confluence Data Center (not Server) in version 7.11.

(This was I assume a result of the acquisition of Good Software, who made a popular Analytics add-on for Confluence.)

This is not available in Confluence Server.

Furthermore, I do not see any information about this data being available in the official Confluence (On-Prem) REST API documentation.

Interestingly, I found this a bug about some undocumented Analytics APIs: CONFSERVER-76071 

And this KB article includes some possible full paths you might poke around with:

• Confluence Space Analytics renders a blank page 

I tried this on our Server instance:

https://OURSERVER/rest/confanalytics/1.0/instance/paginated/activityBySpace

And got:

{
   "error": {
      "reason": "InvalidAddonLicense",
      "message": "Add-on license is not valid."
   }
}

Which makes sense, since we had never purchased the Good add-on.

I think many (frugal) users have long relied on Old Street Software's free Page View Tracker, which does not have an API that I am aware of, but does offer a CSV export and some SQL queries that you could run as well.

• Data Access version 5.x

Hello @BAVITHRA R  and @Brandon Valle 

Our app Viewtracker - Analytics for Confluence is available for all hosting types and plans and comes with an API (on-premise / cloud).
