ConfluencePS

A PowerShell module that interacts with Atlassian's Confluence wiki product.

ConfluencePS communicates with Atlassian's actively supported REST API via basic authentication. This is the only way to interact with their cloud-hosted instances via API, and will eventually be the only way to interact with an on-premises installation.

Instructions

• "Download ZIP" near the top-right of this page
• If necessary, unblock the zip
• Extract the ConfluencePS folder to a module path
  • For example, $env:USERPROFILE\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\

NOTE: The top-level ConfluencePS folder (that contains readme.md) is just for GitHub presentation. You'll want to keep the ConfluencePS child folder, discarding the top level.

# Import the module
    Import-Module ConfluencePS
	# Alternatively,
    Import-Module C:\ConfluencePS
	# or
    Import-Module \\server\share\ConfluencePS

# Get commands in the module
    Get-Command -Module ConfluencePS

# Get help
    Get-Help about_ConfluencePS
	
# Set your instance's info, so PowerShell knows where to send requests
# Local installs may be 'http://wiki.mydomain.com', for example, but Atlassian cloud installs need the /wiki subdirectory
	Set-WikiInfo -BaseURI 'https://brianbunke.atlassian.net/wiki'
# You will then be prompted for your Confluence credentials

Acknowledgments

Many thanks to thomykay for his PoshConfluence SOAP API module, which gave me enough of a starting point to feel comfortable undertaking this project.

I stole repurposed much of RamblingCookieMonster's example module, PSStackExchange, which was a huge help in standing up everything correctly.

juneb has a wealth of information on the right way to supply module help. Check this out for starters.
