Checking Confluence (Cloud) connectivity

Before you sync your Confluence (Cloud) data source connector after configuring it, we recommend you check the connection between Amazon Q Business and Confluence (Cloud). The following are the cURL commands you need to check Confluence (Cloud) connectivity.

Checking basic authentication connectivity

To check connectivity for a Confluence (Cloud) data source connector using basic authentication, use the following cURL command:

curl --location 'https://<confluence_host-url>/wiki/rest/api/user/current' 
--header 'Authorization: Basic <base64(email:api_token)>'

If your data source is connected as expected, the JSON response should resemble the following:

    "accountId": "accountId",

    "email": "email",
    "publicName": "Administrator",
    "profilePicture": {
        "path": "/wiki/aa-avatar/<accountId>",
        "width": 48,
        "height": 48,
        "isDefault": false
    },
    "displayName": "Administrator",
    "isExternalCollaborator": false,
    "_expandable": {
        "operations": "",
        "personalSpace": ""
    },
    "_links": {
        "self": "https://<host_url>/wiki/rest/api/user?accountId=<accountId>",
        "base": "https://<host_url>/wiki",
        "context": "/wiki"
    }
}
