Is it possible to fetch a list of all Confluence Whiteboards in a site?

[Akash Singh]

Hi Whiteboard Community,

I am currently working on a Confluence site migration. Since Whiteboards are not supported by Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant (CCMA), I need to perform an impact analysis to understand the scope of this limitation.

Is there a way to fetch a list of all Confluence Whiteboards in a site? Any API, script, or workaround to extract this data would be extremely helpful.

Thank you in advance!

Hi @Akash Singh the list of whiteboards for a site is possible to query via CQL.

```

/wiki/rest/api/search?cql=type=whiteboard

```

There is more detail on the CQL search API available on https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/advanced-searching-using-cql/.

Note that whiteboard content is not currently available via the API. 

Hope this helps

@Michael Oates Is there any timeline on the support for getting whiteboard content via the API?

Is there any workaround possible to fetch the HTML view of the whiteboard using API

[Michael Oates]

@kanavgupta There is no mechanism today for retrieving the contents of a Whiteboard via an API or otherwise.

Would you be able to share your intended use case so that I can capture it?

This is required to add whiteboard support for Confluence in GCP Integration Connectors: https://cloud.google.com/integration-connectors/docs/connectors/confluence/configure

I wonder if there is an API that can also help export and import these between Cloud sites (Cloud to Cloud migration).

Hi @Akash Singh 

if you want to see all whiteboards within your UI, just filter for content type = whiteboard in the Confluence advanced search: https://<YourSite>.atlassian.net/wiki/search?type=whiteboard
