# Confluence Crawler (PAT) Crawls Confluence Data Center pages into Markdown files, authenticated with a **personal access token (PAT)** from `.env`. > ⚠️ PATs only work on **Confluence Data Center / Server 7.9+**. Confluence > Cloud does not support PATs — use an API token (basic auth) there instead. ## Setup ```bash python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt cp .env.example .env # then fill in your values ``` `.env`: ``` CONFLUENCE_URL=https://collab.lge.com CONFLUENCE_PAT= ``` Create the PAT in Confluence: avatar (top right) → Settings → **Personal access tokens** → Create token. The token inherits your permissions — you can only crawl pages you can see. ## Usage ```bash python main.py --space KEY --out output/KEY # one space python main.py --all --out output # all visible spaces python main.py --all --max-spaces 3 --verbose # limit + debug logging ``` Each page becomes `output//_.md` with YAML front matter (title, page id, space, URL, version, last modified) and the body converted from Confluence storage format to Markdown. ## Tests ```bash pytest # unit tests + live tests (live uses the PAT from .env) pytest -m "not live" # unit tests only, no network pytest -m live # live tests only ``` Live tests are skipped automatically when `.env` lacks credentials.
