Retrieving the content of a page you created through the Confluence REST API

[Phillip Dudley]

Hello everyone. I am trying to retrieve the contents of a Page I created via the Confluence REST API using the Python library atlassian-pyton-api (or even the REST API), but I don't seem to understand or see how to retrieve the contents of the page you created.

• https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-page/#api-pages-post

There's a lot of metadata, but I don't see the actual content I POST'd to the API. How does one do that?

Hi @Phillip Dudley ,

To get the page content, use

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-page/#api-pages-id-get

e.g.

curl --request GET \ --url 'https://{your-domain}/wiki/api/v2/pages/{id}' \ --user 'email@example.com:<api_token>' \ --header 'Accept: application/json'

If you need the actual content, add the parameter "body-format" as a query parameter (e.g. "storage"):

https://<your-domain>.atlassian.net/wiki/api/v2/spaces/{space-id}/pages?body-format=storage

Thank you! This helped inform my usage of the atlassian-python-api client package.

"""Maybe get the page content?

"""

page_content = confluence.get_page_by_id(page_id=page_status['id'],

                                         expand='body.view')

page_content

This will return the page's content as part of the response.
