I am going to guess that it is the format of your input file. I think you may need to strip the HTML and Body tags. The command syntax is as follows

confluence.create_page(space, title, body, parent_id=None, type='page', representation='storage', editor='v2')

There are also some examples here:

@Bill Bailey This command can be used to create a page in confluence.Actual issue which i am facing the parsing the html content which is having special charactor like "=,===,' " and some unwanted space before and after these character. there are libraries which can be used for parsing like beautiful soup, html parsar but these are restricated to <.>.& charactors.

Can you please anything to resolve these issue

High @yatindra kumar janghel , I am not a Python expert, but was just looking at what was published to figure out the error. I think if you just strip the html and body tags, the command would work. I would try that as an experiment to see if it is indeed the source of the error.
