Develop custom reporting based on Confluence

[Denis Nosov]

Hi, community!

My goal - to develop custom reporting in Apache Superset based on data from our Cloud Confluence.

So my question: is it possible to connect directly to our Confuence's database? Or I should use some workaround? Or it is not possible at all?

Hey @Denis Nosov welcome to the community!

On Cloud you are unable to directly interact with the database behind the instance.

There's an REST API available if you are able to ingest that or you could look at using an app to use as a connector. Some connectors are available for things like Tableau/PowerBI but I can't seem to find one for your specific tool.

I'm not familiar with the ingest capabilities so you might need to look at exporting thru another connector or using the REST API

@Dirk Ronsmans thank you for your answer!

If I understood right: the easiest way to reach my goal - it is to import data from our Confluence to local database via REST API and to develop reporting based on it?

P.S. Where i can find list of connectors or exporting tools?

@Denis Nosov ,

well either you can use a tool that can handle your reporting directly and set up a connector for that. 

Those connectors can be found at the marketplace (https://marketplace.atlassian.com )

If you wish to use the REST API to export data the documentation of that can be found here: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/
