In the next versions of our apps for Confluence we provide a Swagger UI in the administration section for these apps. This allows users to use an API browser instead of the REST API Browser app.
The REST API Browser is a great app. So why the change?
It is likely that the support for the REST API Browser will be discontinued in the near future. As of today the REST API Browser does already not provide the documentation in the latest versions of Confluence. See Atlassian REST API Browser doesn’t show Java Doc Comments). It is recommended to switch to an alternative tool for using REST APIs with documentation.
We moved to Swagger.
The following apps provided by smartics are available on the Atlassian Marketplace and will provide the Swagger UI for browsing the apps' REST APIs in their next versions:
- projectdoc Toolbox for Confluence
- Web API Extension for the projectdoc Toolbox
- Userscripts for Confluence
We also plan to extend the use of features provided by Swagger in the following versions.
In case you are an app developer for Confluence, we have published a small project called
that shows one solution to integrate Swagger into your apps.
