There was a question asked a while ago, but with no helpful answer. [image] Get Space page hierarchy using the REST api We are looking into using the REST api to create backups for all the content on our confluence cloud page. We would like this content to match the structure within conf…

Hi @mathieu.yargeau , I’m going to check this with our Confluence team. cheers, Peter

@mathieu.yargeau I’m back with some news straight from our Confluence Cloud team: The following API endpoints: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/#api-content-id-descendant-get https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/#api-content-id-descendant-type-get Should re…

Thank you. This is for Cloud? I am on Confluence Server 6.4.2. I tried /rest/api/space/{spaceKey}/content?depth=root to get the root page, got the id from the root page and then called that api you suggested. /rest/api/content/1310767/descendant/page is giving me {“statusCode”:501,“data”…

Do’h… I read “confluence cloud page” in that post from the user community you posted and didn’t look at the category anymore… Let me see what I can find out for Confluence Server

Can you change this /rest/api/content/1310767/descendant/page into this /rest/api/content/1310767/child/page And tell me if that gives you the result you need?

It does give me results, but they are what I was explaining in my first post. They give the pages directly below the page which id was given in the url, and not the pages below in a hierarchy tree. Even if I add “?expand=descendants.page”, which according to the documentation “returns pages that are…

This one almost works. I didn’t try it before because it was saying “returns pages that are descendants at the level immediately below the content”. And it seems it does exactly that. “1310767” is my home page. The result gives me all pages directly under the home page, and the children of those pa…

@mathieu.yargeau , did you ever get a solution for generating a list of all descendants (children, grand children, etc.)? I too face a similar issue and aside from doing a recursive “dive down the hierarchy”, I hope you found and can share a simple solution.

I created a python script to get the page hierarchy levels and create a CSV with a column for each level and list pages in the appropriate column under their relevant parent. A CSV is obviously just one possible output but good as a demo. I’m sure there are people out there with better solutions but…

I find I can get multiple levels in one request like this /rest/api/content/{pageId}/child?expand=page.children.page.children.page In order to know how many ‘children.page’ parts to add to the end of that request I guess I’d need a way of finding the page with the max depth. Haven’t tried it yet b…

One more thing can you try this:

/rest/api/content/1310767/child/page?expand=children.page
