Update Confluence page with Python using REST API?

[Jarrod Blomberg]

Hi,

I am trying to update a confluence page using Python.  I have tried the curl examples that are here in the community forums, but struggling with python.

I am getting 405 and am guessing I have something malformed.  

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

print ("NEW PAGE: \n" + new_page) 
print ("Updating page @ " + dataAPI)
headers = {'Content-type': 'application/json', 'Accept' : 'application/json'} 
result = requests.post(dataAPI, auth=HTTPBasicAuth(username, password), verify=False, json=new_page, headers=headers )
print (result)

You can do it, like this as well

Finally figured it out.     

Should be requests.put, (not request.post)

I've obviously been looking at it for too long!

Hi Jarrod, You seemed to have coded something that I just started looking and that is updating a page which has a confluence macro. It seems I have not figured out the correct python code for the insertion of <ac:structured........ I wonder whether you would be kind enough to share that part of the python code?

Thanks

Peter
