How to upload files to Confluence via Python API

[Joe Osborne]

I am attempting to upload zip files to Confluence via Python, but no matter what request I send, I keep getting an error 502 response.  

data = {"comment": "This is data"}

files = {'file': open('File.zip', 'rb')}

content = session.post('https://site.com/rest/api/content/2229443766/child/attachment ', data=data, files=files)

print(content.status_code)
print(content.text)

Needed to add a header:

headers = {"X-Atlassian-Token": "nocheck"}

Hi Claudio,

I have something like this: (it includes a response to your terminal)

def upload_file_as_attachment(page_id, file_path, auth):

    """ Uploads a file as an attachment to a Confluence page, with enhanced error handling. """

    url = f"https://YOURURL.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/{page_id}/child/attachment"

    headers = {"X-Atlassian-Token": "no-check"}

    try:

        with open(file_path, 'rb') as file_data:

            mime_type = mimetypes.guess_type(file_path)[0] or 'application/octet-stream'

            files = {'file': (os.path.basename(file_path), file_data, mime_type)}

            response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, files=files, auth=auth)

            if response.status_code == 200:

                print(f"Attachment uploaded successfully with ID {response.json()['results'][0]['id']}")

            else:

                print(f"Failed to upload attachment: {response.status_code} {response.text}")

    except IOError:

        print(f"Error: File not found - {file_path}")

    except Exception as e:

        print(f"An unexpected error occurred: {str(e)}")
