500 Internal Server Error - Confluence Cloud Rest API Call

If I try to make REST API calls in confluence cloud I am getting 500 Internal server error every time.
The same endpoints are working fine if called from the browser after being authenticated.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Thanks!!

Hi @designextech,

Which endpoints are you trying to call? Is this via CLI or add-on?

Thanks!

Hi,

Maybe you should share more info about the error and how you do the rest call that failed.

Thanks

Hi Anne / Sahal,

I am trying to call Get User API
/rest/api/user?key= from the add-on.

I am using atlassian-connect-spring-boot as backend and making API calls using
AtlassianHostRestClients-> authenticatedAsAddon() or authenticatedAsHostActor()

I have following scopes in my atlassian connect descriptor : “READ”,“WRITE”,“PROJECT_ADMIN”,“ADMIN”,“ACT_AS_USER”

What ever I try it always returns 500 Internal Server Error

Thanks!

Hi,

Maybe you can share your code sample.
What is the detail for the 500 error like stack trace?

#8

The stack trace is not coming back in response.
This is what I get :
org.springframework.web.client.HttpServerErrorException: 500 Internal Server Error

I am using atlassian-connect-sprint boot

Here is a sample Service code

public class TestService{

@Autowired
private AtlassianHostRestClients atlassianHostRestClients;

public ConfluenceUser getUserProfile(String userKey){
ConfluenceUser user = null;
try{
String url = “/rest/api/user?key=” + userKey + “&expand=details.personal”;
user = atlassianHostRestClients.authenticatedAsHostActor().getForObject(url, ConfluenceUser.class);
}catch (RestClientException exception){
//log error
}catch(Exception error){
//log error
}
return user;
}
}

public class ConfluenceUser {

private String userKey;
private String username;
private String displayName;
private String accountId;

// getter setter properties

}

Thanks!!

Hello Anne,

I noticed another thing ,

  1. If I make a call from browser after being authenticated it works . For e.g
    https://example.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/user?key=&expand=details.personal

  2. If I try to make the same call via client (using AP request) or server (using AtlassianHostRestClients.authenticatedAsHostActor().getForObject()),
    it always returns 500 Internal server error

This is the sample code via client

getConfluenceUser(userkey:string){
var url = “/rest/api/user?key=userkey&expand=details.personal”;

return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
  try {
    AP.request({
      url: url,
      success: function (response) {
        try {
          console.log(response);
          resolve({});
        } catch (error) {
          console.log(error);
          reject({});   }
      },
      error: function (error) { console.log(error); reject({}); }
    });
  } catch (error) { reject({}); }
});

}

I am not sure if I am missing something. Can you please point me in the right direction.

Thanks!!

Hi @designextech,

I’ve replicated your issue. I tried removing some of the scopes and when you remove the PROJECT_ADMIN, I was able to get a response from AP. Refer to Atlassian Scopes for more information.

Thanks!

Thanks Anne for your help !!

Removing the ‘PROJECT_ADMIN’ scope from atlassian-connect descriptor resolved the issue.
