Hey there @Jeevan R ,

When using Confluence Server and Data Center instances, you can use the Basic authentication by passing your credentials (username and password) in the request.

Here's an example:

curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:8080/confluence/rest/api/content?limit=2

It is also possible to use Personal Access Tokens for integrating scripts and external applications.

For Confluence Cloud, use API Tokens  via the Admin Hub.

Hope this helps! =]
