Answer 1

Answer of "J. Antunes" is correct, but it took a long time for me to find the APIs, pageIds etc. This answer will give you a step by step guide on how to achieve this with API Tokens.

Step 1: Generate API Token in Confluence.

In the confluence page, go to Settings and click on password. Click on "Create and manage API tokens" and get the token. {TOKEN}

Step 2: Find the parent page you want to create a child page at

Go to get the parent page ID, and find the {Parent Page ID}

Step 3: Get the Space Key

On confluence, go to Space Settings, and find the Space Key mentioned.{SPACE KEY}

Step 4: Now get started with the code

import requests
import json
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

# set auth token and get the basic auth code
auth_token = "{TOKEN}"
basic_auth = HTTPBasicAuth('{email you use to log in}', auth_token)

# Set the title and content of the page to create
page_title = 'My New Page'
page_html = '
This page was created with Python!
'

parent_page_id = {Parent Page ID}
space_key = '{SPACE KEY}'

# get the confluence home page url for your organization {confluence_home_page}
url = '{confluence_home_page}/rest/api/content/'

# Request Headers
headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=iso-8859-1',
}

# Request body
data = {
    'type': 'page',
    'title': page_title,
    'ancestors': [{'id':parent_page_id}],
    'space': {'key':space_key},
    'body': {
        'storage':{
            'value': page_html,
            'representation':'storage',
        }
    }
}

# We're ready to call the api
try:

    r = requests.post(url=url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers, auth=basic_auth)

    # Consider any status other than 2xx an error
    if not r.status_code // 100 == 2:
        print("Error: Unexpected response {}".format(r))
    else:
        print('Page Created!')

except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:

    # A serious problem happened, like an SSLError or InvalidURL
    print("Error: {}".format(e))
