where to write API's in confluence??

[Vidya Shevale]

I want to write API's in confluence

but I am getting confused where to write it.

I am using ubuntu 16.04 and my confluence is installed in  /opt/atlassian 

also there is one more folder in /var/atlassian

now I am writing api's using php which are located in /var/www/html/confluence_api

<?php
$data = {
"type":"page",
"title":"My Test Page",
"space":{"key":"TST"},
"body":{"storage":{"value":"<p>This is a new page</p>","representation":"storage"}}
};
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost:8090/rest/api/content/");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "*****" . ":" . "*****");

$headers = array();
$headers[] = "Content-Type: application/json";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);

$result = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch);
}
curl_close ($ch);
print_r($result);
?>

and I am using POST method for calling the API  but I am getting  404 http_code in return 

GET method is working fine but not POST

please answer me ASAP

I'm not even sure how you came up with the idea of wedging bits of code in the wrong language into Confluence is a good idea.

If you want to add new APIs to Confluence, you should write the end points in Java in an App you add to Confluence.

If you want to use the APIs in Confluence, you can use php (or other languages), but do not put your code inside the Confluence installation, that can break all sorts of things.

The content call you are using expects to be a get, not a post, that's why you get a 404.

hey thanks @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- for your reply

my requirement is PHP so I am writing APi's in php language. I created separate folder for api's and not in the confluence setup.

now working it is as expected

thanks
