Getting Confluence spaces

This retrieves a list of spaces from Confluence, and may require paging through the results to see all spaces from your instance.

AP.require('request', function(request) {
  request({
    url: '/rest/api/space',
    success: function(response) {
      // convert the string response to JSON
      response = JSON.parse(response);

      // dump out the response to the console
      console.log(response);
    },
    error: function() {
      console.log(arguments);
    }  
  });
});

Getting specific spaces from Confluence

This snippet lets you request a specific Confluence space by space key. In this example, we use ds. This recipe also provides some high-level information about the space. If you're looking for more information about a space, you can find out about the content in the space in the next example, using /rest/api/space/{space.key}/content.

      response = JSON.parse(response);

      // dump out the response to the console
      console.log(response);
    },
    error: function() {
      console.log(arguments);
    }   
  });
});

Getting pages in a space

This recipe returns a collection for a given space identifier (like ds in the example below), containing objects like a blog post and one of the pages in the space. This returns a collection for the given space identifier (e.g. ds) that contains a object of blog posts and one of pages in the space. You can also directly access pages (/rest/api/space/ds/content/page) or blog posts (/rest/api/space/ds/content/blogpost) if you want to page though the contents.
