How to get a Confluence project's ID?

Peter Bunde Hansen July 15, 2017

Fellow sufferers!

I need to know the ID of a particular project in Confluence (I'll use the ID to make REST queries). Where in the UI is the ID displayed?

By the way, in the REST documentation, the ID is mentioned as <projectIdOrKey>.

This gives me the ID: https://csc-ejendom.atlassian.net/secure/BrowseProjects.jspa?selectedCategory=all&selectedProjectType=all

 

But I get an error message:

{"errorMessages":["You cannot edit the configuration of this project."],"errors":{}}

For this URL:

https://csc-ejendom.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/project/YR/role

From the documentation, it seems I do not need admin rights to query these roles; also why is the reponse mentioning '...edit...' when clearly I am not trying to edit something?

Those are JIRA projects, not Confluence spaces.

What I am trying to achieve is this:

In Confluence, I have a space with a number of pages. A subset of the members of the space are 'Reviewer'. I than need to query via my REST API who the Reviewer's are.  

Please propose a way to do that.

)If the member can have the role irt particular pages within the space, that would be great, or if it is only possible to do that on space level, that is fine as well.)

The Confluence REST API leans on the space key, not id, and that's visible everywhere, in the name, the urls and so-on  (I'm assuming you mean "space", as Confluence doesn't have "projects")

Where is space ID.JPGHi Nic

 

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I mean space. I still can only find the title - not something that looks like an ID. Could you provide a screen cut-out to guide me in

Peter Bunde Hansen July 17, 2017

..how to find it, or mark it in the cut-out?

Ok, the new layout on Cloud doesn't expose the space key as much.  You could look at the url you are on when you're looking at a page, or look at the list of spaces where the keys are listed.
