Getting metadata from "Page Properties Report Macro" via REST API

[Evangelos Mantadakis]

Would it be possible to get the HTML content of the"Page Properties Report Macro" using a REST API call ?

Hello Evangelos,

Using the REST API to get the content of a page is simplified by adding an expand to the end of your API URI. This may look something as follows:

http://example.com/confluence/rest/api/content/1234?expand=space,body.view

Using the following endpoint: GET /rest/api/content/{id}

This will allow the response to include the following within the response which will include any macros you have present:

"body": {
       "view": {
           "value": "<p><h1>Example</h1>Some example content body</p>",
           "representation": "view",
           "_expandable": {
               "content": "/rest/api/content/1234"
           }
       }

I hope this proves helpful and you’re able to grab the content of your Confluence pages and macros without issue.

Regards,
Stephen Sifers
