Confluence Content Reindexing using Rest API

[Navya_Shetty]

Hello Team,

we wanted to automate confluence re-indexing when ever we do a data replication replication between prod to INT or when we go on up gradation.

We are using Confluence version - 6.13.X . I'm using the below mentioned Rest call to trigger the content indexing.

http://localhost:8090/rest/prototype/1/index/reindex 

With this rest api , i'm able to trigger reindexing. but i wanted to add next step to check the progress of indexing. how can i do it.? Is there any rest api to check the progress ? 

Please suggest.

Hi,

You can use this to get the progress of the content indexing:

https://<instance url>/rest/rebuildindex/latest/job

Then you can use this curl command with jq to get the value of progress:

curl -s -H "Authorization: <Credentials>" -X GET "https://<instance url>/rest/rebuildindex/latest/job |jq -r '.progress'

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
Vamsi
