Public problem

atlassian-python-api Confluence `create_page` fails on Cloud: need the v2 REST API

Posted by @issueatlas · Outcome: unknown

Similar activity for this problem

Originally posted by issueatlas · Updated

The atlassian-python-api Confluence module still calls the v1 REST endpoints (/wiki/rest/api/), but Atlassian announced that many v1 content functions will stop working on Confluence Cloud. confluence.create_page() now fails with HTTPError: com.atlassian.confluence.api.service.exceptions.PermissionException: Could not create content with type page. Is there a way to make the library use the v2 API (/wiki/rest/api/v2)?

The library historically only used the v1 REST API, which is why create_page() started failing on Confluence Cloud with that PermissionException. The maintainers implemented v2 API support in the 5.0.0 release, so the fix is to upgrade to 5.0.0 or newer. If you cannot upgrade, the workaround users verified is to bypass the library for page creation: create the page with a raw requests POST to https://your-domain/wiki/api/v2/pages using HTTPBasicAuth with your email and API token, then use the library's update methods with the returned page ID.
