How to export Confluence "space" to PDF using remote API

I am looking for examples of exporting a merge space in pdf format. The documents for this are terrible. It looks like it can still be supported in the latest merge (5.0) using the XML-RPC api. I can not find an example of what can be called.

https://developer.atlassian.com/display/CONFDEV/Remote+API+Specification+for+PDF+Export#RemoteAPISpecificationforPDFExport-XML-RPCInformation

These links say that calls should be prefixed with pdfexport , but then should not indicate any of the calls or give an example.

I know this is a PHP example, not Ruby, but you can check the XML-RPC example in the VoycerAG PHP project on Github at https://github.com/VoycerAG/confluence-xmlrpc-pdf-export/blob/master/src /Voycer/Confluence/Command/PdfExportCommand.php ... hope this helps.

Basically, you just need to make a call to the login method, and the user needs the authentication token returned to call the exportSpace method. This in turn gives you a URL that an authenticated user can download PDF.

It turns out that the soap API is the only api currently available for exporting space

Using the Savon library in Ruby here:

 require 'savon' # create a client for the service # http://<confluence-install>/rpc/soap-axis/pdfexport?wsdll client = Savon.client(wsdl: 'https://example.atlassian.net/wiki/rpc/soap-axis/pdfexport?wsdl', read_timeout: 200) # call the 'findUser' operation response = client.call(:login, message: {username: "user", password: "pass"}) token = response.body[:login_response][:login_return] response = client.call(:export_space, message:{token: token, space_key: "SPACE KEY"})

This works using the Bob Swift SOAP library ('org.swift.common: confluence-soap: 5.4.1'). I use this in the gradle plugin, so you will need to change a few things

 void exportSpaceAsPdf(spaceKey, File outputFile) { // Setup Pdf Export Service PdfExportRpcServiceLocator serviceLocator = new PdfExportRpcServiceLocator() serviceLocator.setpdfexportEndpointAddress("${url}/rpc/soap-axis/pdfexport") serviceLocator.setMaintainSession(true) def pdfService = serviceLocator.getpdfexport() // Login def token = pdfService.login(user, password) // Perform Export def pdfUrl = pdfService.exportSpace(token, spaceKey) // Download Pdf HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(pdfUrl) httpget.addHeader( BasicScheme.authenticate( new UsernamePasswordCredentials(user,password),"UTF-8", false)) HttpResponse response = client.execute(httpget) HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity() if (entity != null) { InputStream inputStream = entity.getContent() FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(outputFile) int inByte while ((inByte = inputStream.read()) != -1) fos.write(inByte) inputStream.close() fos.close() } else { throw new GradleException("""Cannot Export Space to PDF: Space: ${spaceKey} Dest: ${outputFile.absolutePath} URL: ${pdfUrl} Status: ${response.getStatusLine()} """) } }
