On-premise REST API for Confluence

[Pranab Bhatta]

Hi All,

I have installed the on-premise setup for Confluence (6.10.1). I am not sure if REST API is enabled by default or I have to enable.

1) If I have to enable it, can anybody let me know how to do this?

2) If enabled by default, what would be the request URL.?

3) Is the API documentation for on-cloud and on-premise would be same?

Awaiting response.

Thanks,

Pranab

Hello,

1. Rest Api is enabled

2. URIs for the Confluence REST API resource have the following structure:

With context: http://host:port/context/rest/api/resource-name

Or without context: http://host:port/rest/api/resource-name

Example with context: http://example.com:8080/confluence/rest/api/space/ds

Example without context: http://confluence.myhost.com:8095/rest/api/space/ds

3. You can find rest api reference for on prem here:

Important to note for on-premise installations is that authentication should be with the Bearer:-protocol, as explained in the docs here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/using-personal-access-tokens-1026032365.html.
