How do I get licensing information of confluence via rest API ?

[Muhammed Ashfaq]

Hi Team,

I was trying to automate the notification on Atlassian tools license expiry. I have been looking at JIRA and found below REST API URL which gives license details.

https://jira.company.com/rest/plugins/applications/1.0/installed/jira-software/license

But, I dint get any clue on how to fetch licensing details for Confluence and Fiisheye.

I could see below REST API url. But it doesnt provide enough information.

https://confluence.company.com/rest/plugins/1.0/com.atlassian.confluence-key/license

JSON:

{
"links": {
"self": "/rest/plugins/1.0/com.atlassian.confluence-key/license",
"alternate": "/rest/plugins/1.0/available/com.atlassian.confluence-key",
"license": "/rest/plugins/1.0/com.atlassian.confluence-key/license",
"update-license": "/rest/plugins/1.0/com.atlassian.confluence-key/license",
"license-callback": "https://confluence.company.com/plugins/servlet/upm/license/com.atlassian.confluence",
"try": "https://my.atlassian.com/addon/try/com.atlassian.confluence",
"new": "https://my.atlassian.com/addon/new/com.atlassian.confluence"
},
"pluginKey": "com.atlassian.confluence",
"valid": false,
"active": false
}

Please share your thoughts

There is a similar feature request for license details through REST api.

CONFSERVER-37100

Try the following private endpoints incase its urgent. You will get some information but not all. I am still trying to get the expiry Date. 

rest/plugins/1.0/available/atlassian

/rest/license/1.0/license/userCount
/rest/license/1.0/license/remainingSeats
/rest/license/1.0/license/maxUsers

Thanks Rehman. I am also looking for expiry details.

Confluence doesn't provide extensive information on license details via API. We've raised a feature request for this, which you can find below.

• CONFSERVER-56110 - Provide a REST API for retrieving License Details

[Michail Vasilyev]

As stated in CONFSERVER-56110, the following endpoint should provide most license details, starting from Confluence 7.1.0:

/rest/license/1.0/license/details

 But if you're using Confluence 6.x, you may use that method:

/rest/plugins/1.0/product-updates

It provides much less info than `rest/plugins/1.0/available/atlassian`, having `hostStatus`/`hostLicense` keys with Confluence license info.
