| description | A CLI tool for Atlassian Confluence. Lets you read, search, create, update, move, and delete pages and attachments from the terminal or from an agent. |
Most commands accept <pageId> — a numeric ID or any of the supported URL formats below.
Supported formats:
| Format | Example |
|---|---|
| Numeric ID | 123456789 |
?pageId= URL | https://dialpad.atlassian.net/wiki/viewpage.action?pageId=123456789 |
Pretty /pages/<id> URL | https://dialpad.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPACE/pages/123456789/Page+Title |
Display /display/<space>/<title> URL | https://dialpad.atlassian.net/wiki/display/SPACE/Page+Title |
confluence read 123456789
confluence read "https://dialpad.atlassian.net/wiki/viewpage.action?pageId=123456789"
confluence read "https://dialpad.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MYSPACE/pages/123456789/My+Page"
Note: Display-style URLs (
/display/<space>/<title>) perform a title-based lookup, so the page title in the URL must match exactly. When possible, prefer numeric IDs or/pages/<id>URLs for reliability.

Note on inline comments: Creating a brand-new inline comment requires editor highlight metadata (
matchIndex,lastFetchTime,serializedHighlights) that is only available in the Confluence editor.
