New REST API Browser based on Swagger UI.
New and Noteworthy
This release provides the following new and noteworthy features.
REST API Browser in Admin Section
As we have already announced to be happening, all apps with a REST API now support a Swagger UI to browse the app's Web API.
The REST API Browser is a great app. So why the change?
It is likely that the support for the Atlassian 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.
There are no new services with this new version of the Web API Extension, but we updated the documentation and now provide examples for parameters and documents pushed via requests and received in the response.
In case the administration needs to integrate the administration tools outside of Confluence (via the simple administration tool the app provides), then this documentation is certainly handy.
List of Changes
| Key | Summary | T | P | Status | Resolution | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USR4C-42 | REST API Browser in Admin Section |
|
|
Done | Fixed |
Since the REST API Browser does not support documentation for new Confluence version we need to add a section in the administration to provide a documented Web API. Note that this browser may be operated by anyone, while the REST services will check the required access permissions. |
| USR4C-44 | Websudo for Configuration |
|
|
Done | Fixed |
Protect the Configuration Screen in the Admin Console with Websudo. |
| USR4C-43 | Remove HTML Probe Code |
|
|
Done | Fixed |
The code to check if the script code is a HTML page is too crude to be effective (too many false positives). We remove that code. |
