Update page via API does not work with python

[Charlie Misonne]

Hi dear community,

I am trying to update a Confluence page with python. At first I was trying to use the Atlassian python library but I kept getting a 415 unsupported media type error.
I found this bug report so I decided to bypass the library and build a regular PUT request in Python just like Atlassian has documented on https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-page/#api-pages-id-put

I'm still getting the 415. It works fine with curl so I'm wondering: does this work for anyone?

Code I'm using:

def update_page():

    auth = HTTPBasicAuth("example@email.com", "supersecrettoken")

    headers = {

        "Accept": "application/json",

        "Content-Type": "application/json"

    }

    payload = json.dumps({

        "id": "240156673",

        "status": "current",

        "title": "My Page Title",

        "body": {

            "representation": "storage",

            "value": "Hello World"

        },

        "version": {

            "number": 5,

            "message": "new version"

  }

    })

    print(payload)

    response = requests.put(

        "http://company.atlassian.net/wiki/api/v2/pages/240156673",

        json=payload,

        headers={

        "Accept": "application/json",

        "Content-Type": "application/json"},

        auth=auth

        )

    
    print(response.status_code)

    print(response.request.body)

    print(response.request.headers)

    print(json.dumps(json.loads(response.text), sort_keys=True, indent=4, separators=(",", ": ")))



status = update_page()

The result is:

{
"errors": [
{
"code": "UNSUPPORTED_MEDIA_TYPE",
"detail": null,
"status": 415,
"title": "org.springframework.web.HttpMediaTypeNotSupportedException: Content type '' not supported"
}
]
}

 And what I think is very strange:

• response.request.headers does not include the Content-Type sender I'm sending
• response.request.body returns 'None'

When sending the request to https://httpbin.org/anything instead I do get my header and body returned.

Have you found the resolution?

Hi @Charlie Misonne ,

maybe you need to replace the line

```

json=payload,

```

with

```

data=payload,

```

as you've done a `json.dumps()` call.

thanks for pointing that out.

I had been playing around with the different options before but json=payload or data=payload both return a 415.
