Space list no Archive

[Ayelet Gazit]

I am trying to display a list of all non-archived spaces, and the space list macro doesnt seem to have this option.

how can I achieve this?

Hi @Ayelet Gazit Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Currently the Spaces List Macro lists all spaces, even if they are archived. There is a suggestion raised with Atlassian to not list archived spaces using that macro, which you can track here -

Spaces List Macro should not list archived spaces

I would suggest you to vote for it and start watching it for updates.

Thanks, I voted. How else would you suggest me to display a list of active spaces?
I don't mind writing manually which spaces I want to display, but want to be able to display a list of multiple non archives spaces.

Great. If you are familiar with REST API,  @Pramodh M has already given a solution in his response (thank you Pramodh for that) which is an efficient way and will save your time.

[Ayelet Gazit]

well, I am not really familiar with REST API. How do I use that inside the page? is there a macro for that?

[Ayelet Gazit]

@Pramodh M can you point me to a guide / explanation?
Thank you for your help!

Install Git Bash, JQ tools in your local system

https://git-scm.com/downloads

https://stedolan.github.io/jq/

and run the commands replacing all the parameters in API

You need to create a API token in here https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens

Let me know if you have any doubts

Hi @Ayelet Gazit 

Welcome to Confluence!!

Using API!!

Here's the API to list down the Spaces in your instance and the API details contains whether the space is active or archived

Thanks,

FYI

Find the example below

curl -s \

--request GET --url "https://your-site.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/space?limit=1000&status=archived" \

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

--user 'email-id:token' | jq --raw-output .results[].name

Thanks

FYI and to get the Active spaces, change the API as

curl -s \

--request GET --url "https://your-site.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/space?limit=1000&status=current" \

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

--user 'email-id:token' | jq --raw-output .results[].name

 You need JQ to be installed on order to extract JSON data

Thanks
