JavaScript / TypeScript library for Node.JS and browsers to easily interact with Atlassian Confluence API
confluence.js is a powerful Node.JS / Browser module that allows you to interact with the Confluence API very easily.
Usability, consistency, and performance are key focuses of confluence.js, and it also has nearly 100% coverage of the Confluence API. It receives new Confluence features shortly after they arrive in the API.
Node.js 10.0.0 or newer is required.
Install with the npm:
npm install confluence.jsInstall with the yarn:
yarn add confluence.jsThere are several types of authentication to gain access to the Confluence API. Let's take a look at a few of them below
Basic authentication allows you to log in with credentials. You can use username and password, but this login method is not supported in the online version, and most standalone versions, so it's better to release API Token, read how to do it here, and use it together with email.
Username and password example:
import { ConfluenceClient } from 'confluence.js';
const client = new ConfluenceClient({
host: 'https://your-domain.atlassian.net',
authentication: {
basic: {
username: 'YOUR_USERNAME',
password: 'YOUR_PASSWORD',
},
},
});Email and API Token example:
import { ConfluenceClient } from 'confluence.js';
const client = new ConfluenceClient({
host: 'https://your-domain.atlassian.net',
authentication: {
basic: {
email: '[email protected]',
apiToken: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN',
},
},
});Only the authorization token is currently supported. To release it, you need to read the documentation and write your own code to get the token.
Example of usage
import { ConfluenceClient } from 'confluence.js';
const client = new ConfluenceClient({
host: 'https://your-domain.atlassian.net',
authentication: {
oauth2: {
accessToken: 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN',
},
},
});import { ConfluenceClient } from 'confluence.js';
const client = new ConfluenceClient({
host: 'https://your-domain.atlassian.net',
authentication: {
jwt: {
issuer: 'ISSUER',
secret: 'shhhh',
expiryTimeSeconds: 180,
},
},
});import { ConfluenceClient } from 'confluence.js';
const client = new ConfluenceClient({
host: 'https://your-domain.atlassian.net',
authentication: {
personalAccessToken: 'secrectPAT',
},
});import { ConfluenceClient } from 'confluence.js'; // Or import ServerClient if using standalone (Server) API
const client = new ConfluenceClient({
host: 'https://your-domain.atlassian.net',
authentication: {
basic: {
email: 'YOUR_EMAIL',
apiToken: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN',
},
},
});
async function main() {
const space = await client.space.createSpace({
name: 'My new space',
key: 'SPACENAME',
});
console.log(space);
}
main();

// }The algorithm for using the library:
client.<group>.<methodName>(parametersObject);Available groups:
- analytics
- audit
- content
- contentAttachments
- contentBody
- contentChildrenAndDescendants
- contentComments
- contentLabels
- contentMacroBody
- contentPermissions
- contentProperties
- contentRestrictions
- contentStates
- contentVersions
- contentWatches
- dynamicModules
- experimental
- group
- inlineTasks
- labelInfo
- longRunningTask
- relation
- search
- settings
- space
- spacePermissions
- spaceProperties
- spaceSettings
- template
- themes
- users
The name of the methods is the name of the endpoint in the group without spaces and in camelCase.
The parameters depend on the specific endpoint. For more information, see here.
If you use Webpack and need to reduce the size of the assembly, you can create your client with only the groups you use.
import { BaseClient } from 'confluence.js';
import { Api } from 'confluence.js';
export class CustomConfluenceClient extends BaseClient {
content = new Api.Content(this);
space = new Api.Space(this);
