How to find the key for a space?

[Stefan Solender]

In some macros you can enter one or several "space keys" in a comma separated list. For example in the Recently Updated macro. How can I find this key? When I browse different spaces, not all of them have the key in the URL.

Sometimes the URL looks like:
https://confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=35989703

Is there any other way of finding the key?

@Stefan SolenderAs space administrator you can  go  to   Space tools > Overview > Space details , there  you  can  find space key

Best!

There's a way to do it without Space Administrator permissions.

Open the Spaces > "Space directory" page and locate the space you are interested in. There's a little (i) icon for each space (Space details). Click it and you'll have the /spaces/viewspacesummary.action?key={KEY} page with the key. Bingo!

I found in another thread that you could get all space data out via REST-API and find the key there:
http(s)://{your server}/rest/api/space?limit=500

Hi Stefan,

Is there any API to export the confluence spaces list?

Thanks,
