How can we extract data from 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 address.

-- The main function is the first function called from Iguana.
function main()
   local ApiToken = "5gBjjIjuys5K0S6ggg3u94A2"
   local BaseToken = filter.base64.enc("first.last@interfaceware.com:"..ApiToken)
   local Page = '2101313577'
   local BaseUrl = "https://interfaceware.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/";
   
   local Data, Code, Headers = net.http.get{ 
      url = BaseUrl..'content/'..Page,
      parameters={
         expand='body.view'
      }, 
      headers = {
         Accept="application/json",
         Authorization="Basic "..BaseToken
      },
      live = true
   }
   local J = json.parse{data=Data}
   trace(J.body.view.value)
end

The code will require a valid ApiToken - no we haven’t compromised our security with this concept

We are reading the page small documents are better.

This is what line 20 might give:

<p>People read and comprehend small documents faster and more completely.</p>
