Installation

Quick Start

1. Get an API Token

1. Go to https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens
2. Click "Create API token"
3. Give it a descriptive name
4. Copy the token immediately (you won't see it again)

2. Backup a Page

dumpconfluence backup "https://company.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPACE/pages/123456/Page+Title"

You'll be prompted for:

• Confluence URL (e.g., https://company.atlassian.net)
• Your email address
• API token

3. Save Credentials as Profile

Save your credentials for future use:

dumpconfluence backup "URL" --save-profile work

Use saved profile:

dumpconfluence backup "URL" --profile work

Tip: If you have only one profile saved, it will be used automatically.

4. Specify Output Directory

By default, pages are saved in the current directory. To specify a different location:

dumpconfluence backup "URL" --output-dir /path/to/backups

Profile Management

Create a new profile:

dumpconfluence config add myprofile

List all profiles:

dumpconfluence config list

Remove a profile:

dumpconfluence config remove myprofile

Batch Processing

Create a text file with URLs (one per line):

https://company.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPACE/pages/111/Page1
https://company.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPACE/pages/222/Page2
https://company.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPACE/pages/333/Page3

Process all URLs:

dumpconfluence batch urls.txt --profile work

Output Structure

Each page creates its own directory:

Page_Title/
├── Page_Title.html    # Self-contained HTML with embedded CSS
├── metadata.json      # Page metadata and export info
└── images/            # Downloaded images
    ├── image1.png
    ├── image2.jpg
    └── ...

Configuration

Profiles are stored in:

• Linux/macOS: ~/.config/dumpconfluence/config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\dumpconfluence\config.json

Security Note: Credentials are stored in plain text. Ensure proper file permissions.

Troubleshooting

Authentication Failed
