Where would I find documentation on /rest/experimental/ ?

[Teemu Hatula]

Is there documentation available on certain REST-API calls?

For example, one of the /rest/search/ calls was changed to /rest/experimental/search/ when upgrading to Confluence 6.7.x. I'd like to know what happened with it, is it a new feature or something else. Also is there a reason for it being behind the /experimental/ URL if it's already in a release version?

Is there a resource or sorts available for changes like that or do I have to crawl through the release notes if anything was changed for the related macros that use that REST call or diff the 5.10.x -> 6.7.x REST API docs? Mainly interested on everything related to stuff behind the /experimental/.

Hello Teemu, you can get the list of official rest API calls from the page below,

• Confluence REST API Documentation
• We can just change the version number at the end of the URL above, for the that version's API documentation.

The official supported rest API for search is "/rest/api/search" and not the "rest/experimental/search".

I could not find a page that shows all the "experimental" API list, since it's not a full release, but I usually look for them by using the Rest API browser add-on.

• Just download the latest version of the add-on from the link above, and install it from the Manage add-on section in Confluence.
• Once installed, you can view all APIs, even experimental or RPC ones in (ConfluenceBaseURL)/plugins/servlet/restbrowser

Hope that helps!

Thanks,
I'll see what I can do with that.
