[Confluence]: Method to obtain page content

[argysamo]

It would be nice to have a method to obtain the body of a given page.
You could then update a page, making modifications to its body.
This method will have as an input the page_id and return the page body content formatted as html.
I will soon submit a PR to fix this issue.

(If I am not mistaken, the current update_or_create() method replaces the content of the page.)

Kind regards,
Argyris

1b875e8 seems to be about appending to a page. As far as I understand @argysamo request, this is about getting the whole content of a page.

As simple use case would be:

• Get the page's data.
• Find some field within said data -- for example a page property.
• Update said field to a new value.
• Upload the new page content.

Or is that already possible and I somehow missed it?

@kierun Well, you can do in different ways i.e.
old_content = confluence.get_page_by_id(123).expand='storage.view' body = (((result.get('body') or {}).get('view') or {}).get('value') or {}) body.replace("oldvalue", "new_value") confluence.updade_page(old_content.get('id'), body=body)

@gonchik When trying previous i am getting:
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'expand'

[freeyland]

SHould be I think:
confluence.get_page_by_id(page_id, expand='storage.view')
But : 'bool' object has no attribute 'get'

[gonchik]

[freeyland]

(through reference chain: com.atlassian.confluence.api.model.content.Content["ancestors"]->com.atlassian.confluence.api.model.content.Content["id"])'}
body.replace("Hallo", "Hallo2") result = confluence.update_page( parentID, pageID, 'Versions & Changelogs', body, 'page', 'wiki')
