How to use it in a command-line

confluence.md allows you to push any markdown file to Confluence. You can create a new page (under given parent) or update an existing one.

Example workflow:

1. Create page

Create a new page under --parent_id:

$ confluence.md --user user@name.net \             # Atlassian username
        --token 9a8dsadsh \                        # API token or --password
        --url https://your-domain.atlassian.net \  # Confluence instance URL
        create \                                   # create or update
        --file README.md \                         # markdown file
        --parent_id 182371 \                       # parent page
        --title "new title"                        # title for a new page
        --add_meta                                 # adds meta to source.md file

2. Verify markdown

The page is created and the file is decorated with metadata:

$ head -n 3 markdown.md
---
confluence-url: https://your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SP/pages/18237182/new+title
---

3. Update page

Performing an update does not require providing --page_id and --url:

$ confluence.md --user user@name.net --token 9a8dsadsh update --file README.md

Doing an update with --page_id and --url is still possible.

Consider adding useful --add_info option.

To create Atlassian API Token go to api-tokens.

How to use it in a Python script?

ConfluenceMD wasn't designed to be used this way, but it's fairly simple to embed it in a Python script. See this example:

from md2cf.utils.confluencemd import ConfluenceMD

conf_md = ConfluenceMD(username=user,
                       md_file=md_file,
                       token=token,
                       url=url,
                       convert_jira=convert_jira)

# create new page under parent_id
new_page_id = conf_md.create_new("parent_id", "title")

# update existing page with given page_id
page_id = conf_md.update_existing("page_id")
