Alternative to <ac:image> for adding expandable images via Confluence Cloud API

[Florent Lambrette]

Hi,
I'm trying to use the Confluence Cloud API to update a page using the endpoint with an HTML body:

/wiki/api/v2/pages/{page_id} 

So when I inject an image, I do it using the macro like this:

<ac:image ac:align="center" ac:thumbnail="true">
<ri:attachment ri:filename="my-picture.png"></ri:attachment>
</ac:image>

The picture has been uploaded previously with the endpoint : 

/wiki/rest/api/content/{page_id}/child/attachment

It works fine, but the problem is that the image is not in "thumbnail" mode, is too big or can't be expanded if i use the width property to reduce the size :

If I try to edit it directly in the page, I get this message:

"This macro can’t be edited.
This macro was added to a page that was converted from the legacy editor.
It can’t be edited because it is now incompatible with the current editor."

Is there anything I can use instead of <ac:image>?
I just want to insert an image that can be expanded; otherwise, I’ll have to hardcode a width/height for each image in my code.

Can you try to convert the image to the new editor a second time?  This is just a guess.

It seems i can't, this is what i see when i try to edit the page (even in "live doc" mode) : 



And this is the error I see when I click the edit Image button.

You can try to reverse engineer the new macro format:

• make a new page
• insert an image
• view the page storage format
• use this as a prototype for the macro source code

Okay, good idea — it worked! Here is the solution (width/height are optional):

<p />
<ac:image ac:align="center" ac:layout="center" ac:original-height="502" ac:original-width="917" ac:custom-width="true" ac:alt="sc.png" ac:width="768">
<ri:attachment ri:filename="sc.png" ri:version-at-save="2" />
</ac:image>
<p />

And this is the solution to use the inline mode

<p>
<ac:image ac:original-height="502" ac:original-width="917" ac:inline="true" ac:alt="sc.png">
<ri:attachment ri:filename="sc.png" ri:version-at-save="2" />
</ac:image>
</p>

Thank you Very much @marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-  !
