Can't make basic connection to Confluence Page

[chrisg423]

This is an issue I am having trying to use the Atlassian Python API's Confluence module to edit a page. So far, all I have in my code is the call to connect to the page using:

conf = Confluence(url=conf_site, username=conf_user, password=conf_pass, cloud=True) (obviously I have real values set for the url, username, and password)

and then a call to try and get the status of a page:

status = conf.get_page_properties(page_id=x) (again, obviously with a real value filled in for x)

and then I try to print that status. However, I get a bunch of traceback errors that look like this:

I have tried this both on a Windows PC as well as a Mac. I get the same sort of traceback errors both times. Please let me know if you have seen anything like this before or if you can point me in the right direction. Thank you.

Hi! A I see you're using on prem Confluence could you try the next parameter

conf = Confluence(url=conf_site, username=conf_user, password=conf_pass, cloud=False)

conf = Confluence(url=conf_site, username=conf_user, password=conf_pass, cloud=False)

Did that, still nothing. Got the exact same traceback errors.

Just curious can you make a telnet request?

telnet confluence.example.com 443

telnet confluence.example.com 443

Excuse my ignorance with Telnet, but I just installed and tried to do that and I am getting nodename nor servname provided, or not known

Any idea how to deal with that?

@chrisg423 so you need to check your DNS records.

1. Is this on-prem installation ? if so. you can put record into /etc/hosts or ping system admins.

Yes, this is on-prem. I did just realize we go through a proxy server though. Is there anything special I'll have to do for that? I did not see anything noted in the documentation.

Hi, still wondering if there is anything special I would have to do to bypass a proxy server. Please let me know if you can. Thank you.

You can use the cookies parameters to go through proxy server. just copy from your browser the cookies and put into script

Two questions...

1. Does that mean you guys don't allow for API token authentication/OAuth?
2. Do you have documentation that specifies how you use the cookies parameter?

Thank you very much for your continued assistance through this. I am not too familiar with API calls and your continuous support is extremely appreciated.

Can we have some update on this issue please? How can we use this with a Jira or Confluence API token?
