Download local copy of confluence and jira

[Rasmus Vedel]

Hi. 

For legal purposes, we need to have a local mirror of the part of a partners confluence and jira we can access. 

How do I do? 

I imagine an API from where I can download everything I (or a script-user) have access to, and save it as html, pdf, or another readable format. 

In an optimal situation, I should only download changed and new data.

I'm perfectly aware, that I will miss a lot of functionality which is acceptable. 

Any ideas? 

I have tried with curl and wget, but I can't figure out how to get by the login.

Hi @Rasmus Vedel 

Local copy of the whole instance or a specific space, pages or issues?

About the REST API what exactly is not working? You would need to create an authentication token that you need to use for authentication.

I'm not the administrator of the installation, so I havn't (yet) been able to make installations as such. 

My approach so far, have been via wget and curl.

We need a local copy of all material we can access with our credentials: pages, spaces, issues, ...

There is no requirements to form: It could be as pdf, jpg, html, ... Only requirement is, that it should be human readable as I would see it when i access the installation. 

Would the answer be REST API? Can I use my personal token in the REST API, or would I need a specific token (with same credentials as me)?

Thanks for a quick answer!

Yes it could be your own token or you can create a generic account with appropriate access. 

Apart from REST API in Jira and Confluence there is also an option to export issues (one or many) and pages/spaces.

I am aware of the export ability. 

I need to have a more automated setup. 

I'll have a closer look at the API. 

Thanks :-)
