Confluence

Mode: 🔑 Atlassian REST API · Domain: configured with ATLASSIAN_CONFLUENCE_BASE_URL

Read, search, create, and update Confluence pages through Atlassian REST APIs. The adapter supports Confluence Cloud and Confluence Data Center without driving a browser session.

Commands

Command	Description
opencli confluence page <PAGE_ID>	Page detail with storage and Markdown body
opencli confluence search <CQL>	Search content with CQL
opencli confluence create	Create a page from Markdown or storage XHTML
opencli confluence update <PAGE_ID>	Update a page body from Markdown or storage XHTML

Configuration

export ATLASSIAN_CONFLUENCE_BASE_URL=https://example.atlassian.net/wiki
export ATLASSIAN_DEPLOYMENT=cloud      # cloud | datacenter | auto
export ATLASSIAN_EMAIL=you@example.com
export ATLASSIAN_API_TOKEN=...

For Data Center, use a personal access token when available:

export ATLASSIAN_CONFLUENCE_BASE_URL=https://confluence.example.com
export ATLASSIAN_DEPLOYMENT=datacenter
export ATLASSIAN_PAT=...

Cloud page reads and writes use Confluence REST API v2. CQL search is still exposed through Confluence REST API v1, so search intentionally uses the v1 search endpoint for both Cloud and Data Center.

Usage Examples

# Read a page
opencli confluence page 123456 -f json

# Search pages in a space
opencli confluence search "type = page and title ~ \"RCA\"" --space ENG --limit 20 -f json

# Create a page from Markdown
opencli confluence create --space 987654 --title "PROJ-123 RCA" --file rca.md --execute

# Update an existing page
opencli confluence update 123456 --file rca.md --version-message "Sync from Jira PROJ-123" --execute

Write Safety

create and update require --execute. Without it, the adapter fails before sending a remote write.

For Cloud, --space expects a space id. For Data Center, --space expects a space key. --parent can be used to place a new page under an existing page id.

Input Formats

Markdown is the default input format:

opencli confluence create --space 987654 --title "Runbook" --file runbook.md --execute

To provide Confluence storage XHTML directly:

opencli confluence update 123456 --file page.storage.html --representation storage --execute

Notes

• update reads the current page version first and submits version.number + 1.
• Markdown conversion covers headings, paragraphs, links, inline code, code blocks, flat and nested lists, and basic tables.
• Expected auth, rate-limit, version-conflict, argument, and not-found failures are normalized to CliError subclasses.
