description	Confluence API integration with managed OAuth. Manage pages, spaces, blogposts, comments, and attachments. Use this skill when users want to create, read, update, or delete Confluence content, manage spaces, or work with comments and attachments. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). Requires network access and valid Maton API key.

Confluence

Access the Confluence Cloud API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage pages, spaces, blogposts, comments, attachments, and properties.

Quick Start

# List pages in your Confluence site
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json

# First get your Cloud ID
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/confluence/oauth/token/accessible-resources')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
resources = json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req))
cloud_id = resources[0]['id']

# Then list pages
req = urllib.request.Request(f'https://api.maton.ai/confluence/ex/confluence/{cloud_id}/wiki/api/v2/pages')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Base URL

https://api.maton.ai/confluence/{atlassian-api-path}

Confluence Cloud uses two URL patterns:

V2 API (recommended):

https://api.maton.ai/confluence/ex/confluence/{cloudId}/wiki/api/v2/{resource}

V1 REST API (limited):

https://api.maton.ai/confluence/ex/confluence/{cloudId}/wiki/rest/api/{resource}

The {cloudId} is required for all API calls. Obtain it via the accessible-resources endpoint (see below).

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
2. Go to maton.ai/settings
3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your Confluence OAuth connections at https://api.maton.ai.

List Connections

python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections?app=confluence&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Create Connection

python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'confluence'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Get Connection

python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Response:

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "{connection_id}",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-02-13T00:00:00.000000Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-13T00:00:00.000000Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "confluence",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}

Open the returned url in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

Delete Connection

python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Specifying Connection

If you have multiple Confluence connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header:

python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
cloud_id = "YOUR_CLOUD_ID"
req = urllib.request.Request(f'https://api.maton.ai/confluence/ex/confluence/{cloud_id}/wiki/api/v2/pages')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '{connection_id}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If you have multiple connections, always include this header to ensure requests go to the intended account.

Getting Your Cloud ID

Before making API calls, you must obtain your Confluence Cloud ID:

python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/confluence/oauth/token/accessible-resources')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
resources = json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req))
print(json.dumps(resources, indent=2))
# Use resources[0]['id'] as your cloudId
EOF

Response:

[
  {
    "id": "62909843-b784-4c35-b770-e4e2a26f024b",
    "name": "your-site-name",
    "url": "https://your-site.atlassian.net",
    "scopes": ["read:confluence-content.all", "write:confluence-content", ...],
    "avatarUrl": "https://..."
  }
]

Security & Permissions

• Access is scoped to pages, spaces, blogposts, comments, and attachments within the connected Confluence account.
• All write operations require explicit user approval. Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.

Code Examples

JavaScript

// Get Cloud ID first
const resourcesRes = await fetch(
  'https://api.maton.ai/confluence/oauth/token/accessible-resources',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const resources = await resourcesRes.json();
const cloudId = resources[0].id;

// List pages
const response = await fetch(
  `https://api.maton.ai/confluence/ex/confluence/${cloudId}/wiki/api/v2/pages`,
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const data = await response.json();

Python

import os
import requests

# Get Cloud ID first
resources = requests.get(
    'https://api.maton.ai/confluence/oauth/token/accessible-resources',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}
).json()
cloud_id = resources[0]['id']

# List pages
response = requests.get(
    f'https://api.maton.ai/confluence/ex/confluence/{cloud_id}/wiki/api/v2/pages',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}
)
data = response.json()

Notes

• Cloud ID Required: You must obtain your Cloud ID via /oauth/token/accessible-resources before making API calls
• V2 API Recommended: Use the V2 API (/wiki/api/v2/) for most operations. The V1 API (/wiki/rest/api/) is limited
• Body Formats: Use storage format for creating/updating content. Use view for rendered HTML
• Version Numbers: When updating pages or blogposts, you must increment the version number
• Storage Format: Content uses Confluence storage format (XML-like). Example: <p>Paragraph</p>, <h1>Heading</h1>
• Delete Returns 204: DELETE operations return 204 No Content with no response body
• IDs are Strings: Page, space, and other IDs should be passed as strings
• IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to jq or other commands, environment variables like $MATON_API_KEY may not expand correctly in some shell environments

Error Handling

Status	Meaning
400	Bad request or malformed data
401	Invalid API key or insufficient OAuth scopes
403	Permission denied
404	Resource not found
409	Conflict (e.g., duplicate title)
429	Rate limited
4xx/5xx	Passthrough error from Confluence API

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

Ensure your URL path starts with confluence. For example:

• Correct: https://api.maton.ai/confluence/ex/confluence/{cloudId}/wiki/api/v2/pages
• Incorrect: https://api.maton.ai/ex/confluence/{cloudId}/wiki/api/v2/pages

Troubleshooting: Scope Issues

If you receive a 401 error with "scope does not match", you may need to re-authorize with the required scopes. Delete your connection and create a new one:

# Delete existing connection
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

# Create new connection
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'confluence'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
