Is it possible to create a page with same Title?

[Pritam P Bonde]

Hello All,

We are developing a tool on top of confluence app by calling Restful API expose to extend the App.

Requirement:-

-----------------

To Create new page, but in case, accidentally if end user try to create the confluence page using developed tool we added below mention Logic[i.e. Code snippet] which would check the Title duplication.

Request:-

------------

Is there any other way to check duplication of PageID part? or Error 203

Code snippet:-

------------------

String pageID = null;

       try {

           ResponseEntity<String> response = restTemplate.exchange(url, HttpMethod.POST, entity, String.class);

           JSONObject responseObject = new JSONObject(response.getBody());

           pageID = responseObject.getString("id");

       } catch (Exception e) {

           log.error(e.getMessage(), e);

           throw new ConfluenceException("Page can not be created", e, ConfluenceErrorCodes.ALREADY_EXISTS);

       }

       return pageID;

    }

Constants Files define to Catching the Errors:-

       int ALREADY_EXISTS = 203;

No, you cannot duplicate page ids - the whole point of an id is that it uniquely identifies a single page.

As far as I know, there's no explicit "check for existence" call in the REST API, so I think you're expected to do "try to get page information" and then catch the "page does not exist" error if it's not there.
