Wikipy

Python 3 CLI for interacting with Confluence API.

Wikipy's tree builder is useful for large Confluence instances which have grown past the point of reasonable maintence. While Atlassian supports HTML, XML, and PDF exports of Confluence, these exports exist only on a per-space or per-page basis. For organizations with hundreds of spaces (which is fairly common) there is no other tool which allows users to build a visual heirarchy of their own Confluence.

Dependencies

1. Confluence Python CLI: https://github.com/RaymiiOrg/confluence-python-cli
2. Pandas: https://pandas.pydata.org/
3. Treelib: http://treelib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html
4. A user with access to the target Confluence instance

Usage

1. Use Confluence Python CLI to generate a CSV of pages from your Confluence instance":

   python confluence.py --help
   confluence.py [-h] -w WIKIURL -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD

   {addpage, updatepage, listpages, removepage, getpagecontent, getpagesummary, listspaces, addspace, removespace, adduser, removeuser, deactivateuser, reactivateuser, changeuserpassword, addgroup, removegroup, listgroups, listusers, getallpages, addusertogroup, removeusergromgroup, listusergroups}

2. Add labels to generated CSV

   Ensure this follows the format: 'id', 'space', 'parent', 'name', 'url' NOTE: Check CSV to ensure data is not broken; commas in page titles will break the CSV.

3. Run 'python confTree.py'

   As long as the generated CSV is formatted correctly and lives in the same directory as confTree.py, this should run as expected.

Things to note

• Ensure that the contents of 'listpages' (from confluence.py) are saved as a file named confluence.csv (this should replace the example confluence.csv provided here)
• Confluence Hierarchy Builder builds four heirarchies deep into each space, but can be easily modified to include more
• A Confluence instance of 10,000 pages will take roughly 10-15 minutes to process

Coming Updates

• Python 3 rewrite
• Documentation
• Dynamic level detection
• Extended API features
