403 exception happened when using Rest API

[Ken Wu _Miansheng_]

Hello experts,

I have received following error message when I am trying to use Rest API by powershell to create a new confluence page.

{"message":"Current user not permitted to use Confluence","statusCode":403}

But I can do it successfully before with the same codes, the last successful page created was on 02/18/2023. Following is the code:

#################################

$pair = "miansheng.wu@commscope.com:generatedToken"

$encodedCreds = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($pair))

$auth = "Basic " + $encodedCreds;

$Headers = @{

    Authorization = $auth; 'Content-Type' = 'application/json'

}

$uri = "https://arrisworkassure.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content"

Invoke-WebRequest -Headers $Headers -Uri $uri -Method Post -Body '{"type":"page","title":"Test page","ancestors":[{"id":3734306868}], "space":{"key":"TEAM"},"body":{"storage":{"value":"Test body","representation":"storage"}}}'

#################################

Could you please help me? This issue blocks me a lot now.

Thanks,

Ken

Hi @Ken Wu _Miansheng_ ,

please check that user has grant to access Confluence first and token is still valid.

Hi, @Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_ ,

Thank you for your reply.

I can login Confluence and create page by manual.

The token is valid, I created a new token but the result is the same.

Thanks,

Ken
