There are 2 modules in this course

This intermediate-to-advanced course is designed for IT managers, technical professionals, and automation practitioners who want to build reliable, scalable integrations with Confluence using the REST API. Learners focus on designing a Python-based workflow that extracts governance-critical content labeled "Risk" from Confluence and exports it into structured JSON for reporting and dashboard use cases.

Through practical, scenario-driven lessons, learners move beyond basic API calls to evaluate script performance, apply pagination, and use rate-limit-aware optimization strategies that reduce API usage while preserving data completeness. By the end of the course, learners can design production-ready automation workflows that support governance, compliance, and reporting needs in real enterprise environments.

This lesson establishes the foundation for automated governance reporting by walking you through Confluence REST API fundamentals and the /content endpoint. You will focus on authentic API usage, filtering by labels, and structuring responses for downstream dashboards.
