I am getting 500 internal server error when trying to update a page.

1. Command that I am using is curl -u  username:password -H "Content-Type: application/json" - X PUT -d '{"id" :"pageid", "type" :"page", "title" :"Delphix", "body" :{"storage" :{"value" :"<p>test</p>", "representation" :"storage"}}, "version" :{"number" :6}}' https://companyurl/confluence/rest/api/content/pageid

Hi @suman151 

Please find the steps for updating the page

First, make an API call to get the Content ID (Page ID) using below API

curl -u admin:admin -X GET "http://localhost:8080/confluence/rest/api/content?title=myPage%20Title &spaceKey=TST&expand=history"

Once you have got the page ID, make a GET call to the Page using below API

curl -u admin:admin -X GET "http://localhost:8080/confluence/rest/api/content/3473411?expand=body.storage"

Now for the important part, updating the page with the ID

curl -u admin:admin \
-X PUT -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{ "id":"3604482", "type":"page", "title":"new page",
  "space":{"key":"TST"},
  "body":{
    "storage": {
      "value": "<p>This is the updated text for the new page</p>",
      "representation":"storage"}}, 
      "version":{"number":2}
}' http://localhost:8080/confluence/rest/api/content/3604482

One thing though the URL will be your base URL and then this "rest/api/content/3604482"

Other than that your REST Call looks good

Let me know if this works for you!!

Hi, 

I tried the resource u have provided. But still getting the same response. And if i am not using confluence in the api then getting 405 error. So can you please help more on this.

@suman151 

Are you able to successfully access confluence via UI?

If so, get the page via the GET request and we need to use that for PUT request in order to update the page.

Thanks,

Yes, I am able to successfully access confluence via UI and get request is also working fine. But getting 500 error when using PUT requesr type.
