View Page Source of a Version of the Page

[Rob Dempsey]

Hi

I have been using the Confluence API to view the source code of a page

<confluence-url>/plugins/viewsource/viewpagesrc.action?pageId=<pageId>

What I need is to view a version of that page.  I was hoping that

<confluence-url>/plugins/viewsource/viewpagesrc.action?pageId=<pageId>&pageVersion=70

This only showed the source of the latest page and not the version 70

I tried through confluence and selecting page history and clicking version

https://myesure.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=2681897831&pageVersion=70

And from the options selected "View Source".  Choosing that option show the correct source

????

Does anyone know of a method to do this?

Rob

I know this is a bit old, but was looking for similar. I think if you use

<confluence-url>/plugins/viewsource/viewpagesrc.action?pageId=<pageId>

with the version ID where the pageID should go, it may work.

How I arrived at this:
When in the version you want, right-click the 'View source' link and 'Copy link address'

Hello Rob,

Thank you for raising this on Atlassian Community! I found a thread from earlier last year that might help you:

• Confluence API - get page content from historical versions 

Take a look and see if the suggestions work for you. If you still have trouble, I recommend using our Atlassian Developer Community instead. The folks there are more familiar with the REST-API and developing for Atlassian Products, so they may be able to help you.

Take care,

Shannon
