Confluence REST API

Team collaboration and documentation workspace API

Confluence is Atlassian's team workspace platform that enables teams to create, share, and collaborate on documentation, meeting notes, and knowledge bases. The Confluence REST API allows developers to programmatically manage spaces, pages, content, comments, and user permissions, making it ideal for automating documentation workflows, integrating with CI/CD pipelines, and building custom knowledge management solutions.
