Facing issue (404) when creating a page using REST v2 API

[Cristiano Sticca]

Hi community!

I'm facing an issue when I'm trying to create a page on confluence cloud using API v2.

When I use this

GET 'https://companyname.atlassian.net/wiki/api/v2/pages' 

I have results correctly but when I use the API to create a new page I have 404 

POST 

https://companyname.atlassian.net/wiki/api/v2/pages

with this body

{

"spaceId": 21987908,

"status": "current",

"title": "Test",

"body": {

"representation": "storage",

"value": "Test"

}

}

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Cristiano Sticca 

As mentioned here:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-page/#api-pages-post

404 Not Found

Returned if:

• The space does not exist
• The user does not have permissions to view the space
• The user does not have the needed permissions to create a page in the provided space

Check the space permissions.

Ive tested this:

https:/my.atlassian.net/wiki/api/v2/pages with a POST and this body and it works.

{

    "spaceId": "33009",

    "status": "current",

    "title": "Interesting page title",

    "parentId": "33096",

    "body": {

        "representation": "storage",

        "value": "<p>The page content</p>"

    }

}

 Regards

Thanks @Aaron Pavez [ServiceRocket] for your quick reply. 
Can you help my on checking my permission? Because with my user I can create pages on the space so I don’t know where the problem about permissions is. 
thanks again

Hi @Cristiano Sticca 

Can you test the body I used? On yours, you are missing this:

"parentId": "...", you need to tell confluence which page is the parent page.

As for the permissions, what user API token are you using? yours?

Hi @Aaron Pavez [ServiceRocket] yes I used also the same body you used but same error. 
I’m using my API token the same I use for the other API (get pages) that works.

Maybe I’m wrong with the space and parent id? Is there a friendly way to get them, I mean get them directly from Confluence pages?

[Aaron Pavez [ServiceRocket]]

Hi again!

The Space ID? Not from the UI, only with API.

/wiki/rest/api/space/SPACEKEYHERE

Double check the space ID and parent page ID.Y

You can get the page ID from the UI by going to More actions -> Advanced details -> Page information

Nope :/ 

curl --location 'https://companyname.atlassian.net/wiki/api/v2/pages' \

--header 'Accept: application/json' \

--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

--header 'Authorization: ••••••' \

--data '{

"spaceId": "415367805",

"status": "current",

"title": "Interesting page title",

"parentId": "853541359",

"body": {

"representation": "storage",

"value": "<p>The page content</p>"

}

}'

Response:

{
"errors": [
{
"status": 404,
"code": "NOT_FOUND",
"title": "Not Found",
"detail": null
}
]
}

Hi!

Can you try the curl command from the Atlassian page?

curl --request POST \

--url 'https://{your-domain}/wiki/api/v2/pages' \

--user 'email@example.com:<api_token>' \

--header 'Accept: application/json' \

--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

--data '{

"spaceId": "<string>",

"status": "current",

"title": "<string>",

"parentId": "<string>",

"body": {

"representation": "storage",

"value": "<string>"

}

}'

@Aaron Pavez [ServiceRocket] now it works, I don't know how but in postman I had a problem with my token :(

Thanks for the support!

[Cristiano Sticca]

Hi!

How? I'm using the curl with Postman but don't know how to use it in the Atlassian page :/ 

[Aaron Pavez [ServiceRocket]]

With postman you dont need to user curl.

add the URL

in authorization

- Username: use your email 

- Password: your token

the body is the one I've shared earlier. select raw and JSON at the end.

That should do it.

regards

Here you have:

1) the API that works (Get Pages)

2) the API that doesn't work (Create Page)

Same url, same user, same API token ...

  Hi ,  I am also experiencing the same issue this is my schema. I am facing the 404 issues in the backend when I try to find the space using the id. In the postman I am using the basic auth but in the schema below ouath-bearer auth. The api are 

https://name.atlassian.net/wiki/api/v2/spaces?keys=name (get)

https://name.atlassian.net/wiki/api/v2/pages (post). 

Have i made a mistake here?
