  • ConfiForms Server REST API version 1

This is the documentation for ConfiForms Server/Data Center app

However, this might also work for ConfiForms cloud and in most cases it does. But please see this page to understand the differences between server and cloud versions of the ConfiForms app.

This API is available from ConfiForms version 2.18


ConfiForms API prefix is "/rest/confiforms/1.0"

Each API call expects you to provide at least the information about the page where the form is located (pageId - as number, pointing at Confluence page by ID - https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-get-confluence-page-id-648380445.html) and the form name (the name of the form you have given in ConfiForms Form Definition macro for the form).

See extra parameters that can be supplied as a request parameters (or as a POST/PUT parameters) to the call

For example:

/rest/confiforms/1.0/deleteById/123456/myform/deae188e-a6a2-409c-b197-b46332df331f?skipIFTTTExecute=true

Multiple parameters should be given by using & as a parameters separator, for example

/rest/confiforms/1.0/search/123456/myform/mytext:hello?sort=created ASC&limit=5

Alternatively (same request)

/rest/confiforms/1.0/search/123456/myform?query=mytext:hello&sort=created ASC&limit=5


When you get "XSRF check failed" as a response from the API

see this https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/cross-site-request-forgery-csrf-protection-changes-in-atlassian-rest-779294918.html on how to get it properly resolved or add the X-Atlassian-Token into your request headers (https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloudkb/xsrf-check-failed-when-calling-cloud-apis-826874382.html)

X-Atlassian-Token: no-check

NameURLHttp MethodDescriptionExtra (query) parameters

Create ConfiForms Entry

/rest/confiforms/1.0/create/{pageId}/{formName}

POST

POST with  multipart/form-data

(from version 2.27)

Creates ConfiForms entry in the form

You will need to POST the following JSON structure to this REST API endpoint

{
  "fields": {
    "mytextfield":"field value",
    "datefield1": "2020-04-25",
    "ready": true,
    "mydropdown": 2
  }
}

Where each property name in the "fields" JSON object matches the field name in your ConfiForms Form, 

Values are expected to be in the internal format

Values for Date/DateTime could be given in the same format as your Confluence uses or as timestamp

  • skipIFTTTExecute - true/false, to skip IFTTT executions (if there are any that should be executed onCreated event, you can switch them off)

---

You can also POST a request with multipart/form-data. This comes handy when you want to upload attachments together with record creation.

Please note that the parameter names must match the field names you have  defined in your ConfiForms form

SINCE 3.5.0

  • _debug - could give you statistics on IFTTTs being executed and the invocation log 

Update ConfiForms Entry

/rest/confiforms/1.0/update/{pageId}/{formName}/{id}

POST

POST with  multipart/form-data

(from version 2.27)

Updates existing ConfiForms entry in the form (via {id} parameter)

Same as for create method, but with given UUID for the entry to perform an update

  • skipIFTTTExecute - true/false, to skip IFTTT executions (if there are any that should be executed onModified event, you can switch them off)
  • _skipIfParamIsEmpty - true/false (false by default). Setting this parameter with value "true" to your request helps to bypass setting all the fields - useful when you have field definitions with validations and you dont want to set / reset those with your REST API call (and want ConfiForms to lookup existing values)
  • SINCE 3.5.0 _debug - could give you statistics on IFTTTs being executed and the invocation log 

Validate ConfiForms Entry

/rest/confiforms/1.0/validate/{pageId}/{formName}

/rest/confiforms/1.0/validate/{pageId}/{formName}/{id}

POST

POST with  multipart/form-data

(from version 2.27)

Validates given data against the form's rules. Basically does the same as create/update, but does not do the actual "save"

Same JSON structure shall be given as with a "create" method

  • limitFields - comma separated list of field names to return in the response (helps to reduce the amount of data travelling between your service and ConfiForms). Please be aware that "metadata" fields are always returned - see Documentation
  • append - you can set this as "true", in your query parameters which instructs the parameter "fields" to add the transformed (decorated) fields into the record. This allows you to have multiple representations of the field in the output

/rest/confiforms/1.0/search/{pageId}/{formName}/{filter}
