Updating ConFluence page Using Node.js

[Anthony_Gregg]

I am currently writing a script that does the following using node.js:

• Pulls existing confluence to pull in page content in HTML using GET request,
• Updates HTML by adding new HTML tags (H1, H2 UL, and UI) to an existing H1
• I then create a PUT request to update the given page.

Here is a sample of the curl request I'm using:

curl -X PUT \

-H "Authorization: Basic <Base64_encoded_credentials>" \

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \

-d '{

"type": "page",

"id": "12121212",

"title": "Week 24 Jan 2025",

"body": {

"storage": {

"value": "<p>AI Generated Status Update - Test Page!</p>...",

"representation": "storage"

}

},

"version": {

"number": 2

}

}' \

https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/content/12121212

When I directly make a PUT call to confluence with the above call I was able to get a 409 error because I needed to increment the version number. But when I tried with the full body.storage.value stringified HTML content I got back an error 

{

"statusCode": 500,

"message": "",

"reason": "Internal Server Error"

}
Is there any stipulations on what the HTML should look like in a PUT request or guidelines that I should be using?

Hi @Anthony_Gregg ,

welcome to the community. Is the provided URL the exact URL you're using (except for your-domain, of course :-))?
The endpoint you're using is deprecated but should still work. I can't spot the exact error in your request, but using the following documentation you might be able to find it yourself: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v1/api-group-content/#api-wiki-rest-api-content-id-put

The current version of the documentation and the endpoint you'd need to use would be this: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-page/#api-pages-id-put

I hope this helps you solve your problem.

Greetings
Philipp
