## TL;DR

The maintainers implemented v2 API support in the 5.0.0 release, so the fix is to upgrade to 5.0.0 or newer. Is there a way to make the library use the v2 API (/wiki/rest/api/v2)?

## Steps

1. 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 `YOUR_YOUR_DOMAIN_HOST/wiki/api/v2/pages` using HTTPBasicAuth with your email and API token, then use the library's update methods with the returned page ID.

## When to use

You are seeing this: 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:... Use this skill when you run into "atlassian-python-api Confluence `create_page` fails on Cloud: need the v2 REST API".

## When not to use

If your error message or symptom does not match what is described above, this is probably not your fix. Search for your exact error text instead of forcing this one to fit.

## Versions

Versions mentioned in the source: 5.0.0. If you are on something much newer or older, the details may have shifted.
