Is it possible to create multiple pages at once via Confluence Server REST API?

Question

As far as I understand, the Confluence REST APIs work in a linear fashion. You create a page, and then upload attachment to that page, and then create another page. Is there way to create a page with the attachment data?

Also, is there a way to create multiple pages at once?

As a side note, I know Atlassian products allow WebDav access. However, it does not work properly on Windows 10. If the WebDav access works consistently, I think it is easier and "cheaper" way to update pages and attachments in bulk.

@Mirek Thank you. I am aware of the option to import a Word document. The only drawback is we need to clean up pages after importing a doc. That's why we preferred REST APIs since we can upload XHTML content.

Basically you need to have a page ID before you upload an attachment. There are different REST API functions that is why it is working like that.

Here is a nice explanation how this works and on the end you have a example of a script that you can use to create an automation that would fit into your requirements

Hope it helps.

As for creating multiple pages at once.. I would try with importing a Word document with option "Split by heading" that would create pages base on headings levels. That is a quick and easy way to create a page tree structure.
