ConfluenPy

ConfluenPy is a Python package that allows you to interact with Atlassian Confluence via the REST API to programmatically create and update documentation pages content.

Example usage

# Example usage
confluence = atlassian.Confluence(
    url="https://example.atlassian.net/",
    username="[email protected]",
    password=os.getenv("CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN"),
)

page = Page(title="WonderDocs", space="IsVast", confluence=confluence)

# Add a table of contents
page.body.toc()
# Add a horizontal rule
page.body.horizontal_rule()
# Takes the Readme.md file and converts it to confluence format
with open("README.md", encoding="utf-8") as markdown_text:
    markdown = MarkdownToConfluenceConverter.convert(markdown_text.read())
    # Only takes the second section of the markdown file
    page.body.content += markdown.section(2)

# Upload any local images referenced in the markdown
for file in MarkdownToConfluenceConverter.local_images_to_be_uploaded:
    page.attach_content(
        content=file.open("rb"),
        name=file.name,
    )

# Adds some more content
page.body.heading("h1", "Biggest heading")
page.body.block_quote("This is a paragraph")
page.body.code_block(title="tt", content="Wonderful code")

# Update the page
page.update()

Installation

Simply install the package using pip:

pip install confluenpy

Usage

Confluence pages are represented by the Page class. The page content is handled by a PageBody object, which represents it in the confluence wiki markup. The following confluence macros are also supported via the wiki markup (see the MacroMixin class for details): - toc - code block

Markup support

The MarkdownToConfluenceConverter class allows to convert markdown to confluence wiki markup. The following markdown elements are supported:

- headings
- code blocks
- images (both public and local to the repository, see the example above)
- links
- lists (ordered and unordered)

Regular markup notation is also supported (bold, italic..).

Example:

This content:

# Header

## Header

- list level 1
- list level 2

1. numbered list 1
2. numbered list 2

![excalidraw](excalidraw.png)

will be converted to:

h1. Header

h2. Header

* list level 1
** list level 2

# numbered list 1
## numbered list 2
