Richard Wang our head of customer service explains how we can connect to the API of Confluence.
...
We need to authenticate with this API.
The easiest way is to use basic access authentication. We need to use the Confluence GUI to create a token to combine your email addressFor the “username” we use our email address that we have in Confluence. For the password we get what Confluence calls an “ApiToken”. This is a special password that you create through the Confluence GUI as described in the video.
This is some example code showing an API call to retrieve one page from the confluence API.
