scrape an Atlassian confluence web page

[Haroon Habibi]

is there a way to scrape an Atlassian confluence web page via Invoke-WebRequest and the assorted getElementsByTagName/ID/Name Powershell commands for various data on there?Or, do you absolutely need to have an Atlassian token as a prerequisite?

Hello @Haroon Habibi ,

From the technical point of view, it is just a web page , so you can use HTTP requests/tools to get necessary data. Confluence, as other Atlassian tools, has its REST API (https://docs.atlassian.com/ConfluenceServer/rest/7.20.0/) that also makes it easy to retrieve data and manipualte it.

If you mean using .NET/Powershell tools, so you can try this tool:

https://atlassianps.org/

It allows to perform some basic actions on Confluence.

If Confluence is not accessible without login so you need to auth either Basic auth or OAuth tokens, etc.
