Help with adding comments to Confluence page using REST API

[jag kap]

I am trying to add a comment to a confluence Page through REST API. But I gives me a "The specified HTTP method is not allowed for the requested resource." error.

This is what I am trying to do.

from json import dumps, load
from base64 import b64encode
from urllib2 import Request, urlopen

username = "admin"
password = "q*****3"

newTestValues = dumps({
"type":"comment",
"body": "Only single comment at a time"
})
headers = {"Authorization": " Basic " + b64encode(username + ":" + password), "Content-Type": "application/json"}

try:
pageData = json.dumps({
"type":"comment",
"title":"Meeting notes : Staffing discussion - expanded support and development",
"body":{
"storage":{
"value":"<p>wwwwwwoooooooowwwwwww</p>",
"representation":"storage"
}
}
}
)
request = Request('https://j***************a.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/latest/content/1146976/child',data=pageData,headers=headers)
js_res = urlopen(request)
objResponse = load(js_res)
print objResponse
except urllib2.HTTPError, error:
print error.read()

Hello Jag,

Thank you for your question.

You could run the following:

import requests, json
 
# PAGE_ID, get from https://DOMAIN.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content

pageData = {
    'body':{
        'storage':{
            'value':"<p>A new comment test</p>",
            'representation':'storage'
        }
    },
    'container':{
        'type':'page',
        'id':'PAGE_ID'
    },
    'type':'comment', 
}    

r = requests.post('https://DOMAIN.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content',
    data=json.dumps(pageData),
    auth=('USERNAME','PASSWORD'),
    headers=({'Content-Type':'application/json'}))

printResponse(r)

If you find this answer useful, I would kindly ask you to accept it so the same will be visible to others who might be facing the same issue you have inquired.

Thank you for your understanding.
