I’m trying to develop an app were I can create a main page and subpages benieve the main page. I am using the atlassian python api were all the commands can be found here: [Confluence module — Atlassian Python API 3.32.2 documentation](https://atlassian-python-api.readthedocs.io/confluence.html) .

The link descrips how to create a main page but not how a subpage can be created. Therefore I wanted to know how can I create a subpage under the main page.

Just specify the id of the parent page you want to create page under. Here it says parent\_id=None but if you want to create a subpage you specify the id of the page you want to put it under.

That’s how the API works I would assume they followed the same approach in their method.
