How to escape group names in the Confluence Cloud API

[青山 明]

Using the following APIs in the confluence Cloud API, I want to grant group permissions.

API: /wiki/rest/api/content/{id}/restriction/byOperation/{operationKey}/group/{groupName}

But if the group name contains spaces.  e.g. test group.

The space is a problem and the API URL is invalid.

Example: /wiki/rest/api/~/group/test group

Is there any way to escape this?

There is also a method to specify the group ID, but in order to obtain the group ID, it is necessary to specify the group name in the same way, which requires escaping.

Hi @青山 明 

It is better not to use group name. It can be changed. 

You should use groupId. You can get group id with https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/api-group-group/#api-wiki-rest-api-group-get . Get all groups, find group by name and send groupId.

Kind regards
