Remote Confluence data objects

The XML-RPC and SOAP APIs are deprecated since Confluence 5.5.
Confluence has a new REST API that is progressively replacing our existing APIs. We recommend plugin developers use the new REST APIs where possible.

The Confluence remote APIs return structures that have a summary and a detailed form.  The summary form is a primary key (ie space key, page id) and a representative form (for example, space name, page title). The detailed form has all of the entity details client might need.  Unless otherwise specified, all returned structs are in detailed form.  For information about the remote methods that act on these data objects, see Remote Confluence Methods

This page documents the following objects:
