# Confluence

Access the Confluence Cloud API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage pages, spaces, blogposts, comments, attachments, and properties.

## Quick Start

```bash
# List pages in your Confluence site
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json

# First get your Cloud ID
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/confluence/oauth/token/accessible-resources')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
resources = json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req))
cloud_id = resources[0]['id']

# Then list pages
req = urllib.request.Request(f'https://api.maton.ai/confluence/ex/confluence/{cloud_id}/wiki/api/v2/pages')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

## Base URL

```
https://api.maton.ai/confluence/{atlassian-api-path}
```

Confluence Cloud uses two URL patterns:

**V2 API (recommended):**
```
https://api.maton.ai/confluence/ex/confluence/{cloudId}/wiki/api/v2/{resource}
```

**V1 REST API (limited):**
```
https://api.maton.ai/confluence/ex/confluence/{cloudId}/wiki/rest/api/{resource}
```

The `{cloudId}` is required for all API calls. Obtain it via the accessible-resources endpoint (see below).

## Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

```
Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY
```

**Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`:

```bash
export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
```

### Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai)
2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings)
3. Copy your API key

## Connection Management

Manage your Confluence OAuth connections at `https://api.maton.ai`.

### List Connections

```bash
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections?app=confluence&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Create Connection

```bash
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'confluence'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Get Connection

```bash
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

**Response:**
```json
{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "{connection_id}",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-02-13T00:00:00.000000Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-13T00:00:00.000000Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "confluence",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}
```

Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

### Delete Connection

```bash
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Specifying Connection

If you have multiple Confluence connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header:

```bash
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
cloud_id = "YOUR_CLOUD_ID"
req = urllib.request.Request(f'https://api.maton.ai/confluence/ex/confluence/{cloud_id}/wiki/api/v2/pages')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '{connection_id}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

If you have multiple connections, always include this header to ensure requests go to the intended account.

## Getting Your Cloud ID

Before making API calls, you must obtain your Confluence Cloud ID:

```bash
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/confluence/oauth/token/accessible-resources')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
resources = json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req))
print(json.dumps(resources, indent=2))
# Use resources[0]['id'] as your cloudId
EOF
```

**Response:**
```json
[
  {
    "id": "62909843-b784-4c35-b770-e4e2a26f024b",
    "name": "your-site-name",
    "url": "https://your-site.atlassian.net",
    "scopes": ["read:confluence-content.all", "write:confluence-content", ...],
    "avatarUrl": "https://..."
  }
]
```

## Security & Permissions

- Access is scoped to pages, spaces, blogposts, comments, and attachments within the connected Confluence account.
- **All write operations require explicit user approval.** Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.

## API Reference

All V2 API endpoints use the base path:
```
/confluence/ex/confluence/{cloudId}/wiki/api/v2
```

### User (V1 API)

The current user endpoint uses the V1 REST API:

GET /confluence/ex/confluence/{cloudId}/wiki/rest/api/user/current
```

**Response:**
```json
{
  "type": "known",
  "accountId": "557058:...",
  "accountType": "atlassian",
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "publicName": "User Name",
  "displayName": "User Name"
}
```

## Pagination

The V2 API uses cursor-based pagination. Responses include a `_links.next` URL when more results are available.

```bash
GET /pages?limit=25
```

**Response:**
```json
{
  "results": [...],
  "_links": {
    "next": "/wiki/api/v2/pages?cursor=eyJpZCI6Ijk4MzkyIn0"
  }
}
```

To get the next page, extract the cursor and pass it:

```bash
GET /pages?limit=25&cursor=eyJpZCI6Ijk4MzkyIn0
```

## Code Examples

### JavaScript

```javascript
// Get Cloud ID first
const resourcesRes = await fetch(
  'https://api.maton.ai/confluence/oauth/token/accessible-resources',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const resources = await resourcesRes.json();
const cloudId = resources[0].id;

// List pages
const response = await fetch(
  `https://api.maton.ai/confluence/ex/confluence/${cloudId}/wiki/api/v2/pages`,
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const data = await response.json();
```

### Python

```python
import os
import requests

# Get Cloud ID first
resources = requests.get(
    'https://api.maton.ai/confluence/oauth/token/accessible-resources',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}
).json()
cloud_id = resources[0]['id']

# List pages
response = requests.get(
    f'https://api.maton.ai/confluence/ex/confluence/{cloud_id}/wiki/api/v2/pages',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}
)
data = response.json()
```

## Notes

- **Cloud ID Required**: You must obtain your Cloud ID via `/oauth/token/accessible-resources` before making API calls
- **V2 API Recommended**: Use the V2 API (`/wiki/api/v2/`) for most operations. The V1 API (`/wiki/rest/api/`) is limited
- **Body Formats**: Use `storage` format for creating/updating content. Use `view` for rendered HTML
- **Version Numbers**: When updating pages or blogposts, you must increment the version number
- **Storage Format**: Content uses Confluence storage format (XML-like). Example: `Paragraph`, `<h1>Heading</h1>`
- **Delete Returns 204**: DELETE operations return 204 No Content with no response body
- **IDs are Strings**: Page, space, and other IDs should be passed as strings
- **IMPORTANT**: When piping curl output to `jq` or other commands, environment variables like `$MATON_API_KEY` may not expand correctly in some shell environments

## Error Handling

| Status | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| 400 | Bad request or malformed data |
| 401 | Invalid API key or insufficient OAuth scopes |
| 403 | Permission denied |
| 404 | Resource not found |
| 409 | Conflict (e.g., duplicate title) |
| 429 | Rate limited |
| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Confluence API |

### Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set:

```bash
echo $MATON_API_KEY
```

2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

```bash
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

Ensure your URL path starts with `confluence`. For example:

- Correct: `https://api.maton.ai/confluence/ex/confluence/{cloudId}/wiki/api/v2/pages`
- Incorrect: `https://api.maton.ai/ex/confluence/{cloudId}/wiki/api/v2/pages`

### Troubleshooting: Scope Issues

If you receive a 401 error with "scope does not match", you may need to re-authorize with the required scopes. Delete your connection and create a new one:

```bash
# Delete existing connection
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

# Create new connection
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'confluence'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```
