Python Connector Libraries for Confluence Data Connectivity. Integrate Confluence with popular Python tools like Pandas, SQLAlchemy, Dash & petl. Easy-to-use Python Database API (DB-API) Modules connect Confluence data with Python and any Python-based applications.

Features

Compatible with Confluence Server & Cloud REST APIs
Powerful metadata querying enables SQL-like access to non-database sources
Push down query optimization pushes SQL operations down to the server whenever possible, increasing performance
Client-side query execution engine, supports SQL-92 operations that are not available server-side
Connect to live Atlassian Confluence data, for real-time data access with the Atlassian Confluence Python Connectors
Full support for data aggregation and complex JOINs in SQL queries
Secure connectivity through modern cryptography, including TLS 1.2, SHA-256, ECC, etc.
Seamless integration with leading BI, reporting, and ETL tools and with custom applications via the Confluence Connector.

Python connectivity with Atlassian Confluence

Full-featured and consistent SQL access to any supported data source through Python


Connecting to Confluence with Python

CData Python Connectors leverage the Database API (DB-API) interface to make it easy to work with Confluence from a wide range of standard Python data tools. Connecting to and working with your data in Python follows a basic pattern, regardless of data source:

  • Configure the connection properties to Confluence
  • Query Confluence to retrieve or update data
  • Connect your Confluence data with Python data tools.


Connecting to Confluence in Python

To connect to your data from Python, import the extension and create a connection:

Once you import the extension, you can work with all of your enterprise data using the python modules and toolkits that you already know and love, quickly building apps that help you drive business.

import cdata.confluence as mod
conn = mod.connect("[email protected]; Password=password;")

#Create cursor and iterate over results
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("SELECT * FROM Attachments")
	
rs = cur.fetchall()
	
for row in rs:
print(row)
		
engine = create_engine("confluence///Password=password&User=user")

df = pandas.read_sql("SELECT * FROM Attachments", engine)

df.plot()
plt.show()

Visualize Confluence Data with pandas

The data-centric interfaces of the Confluence Python Connector make it easy to integrate with popular tools like pandas and SQLAlchemy to visualize data in real-time.

AI-assisted development with CData CLI

Build Confluence integrations faster with AI that understands your schema

Schema-aware AI

CData CLI gives AI coding tools access to your Confluence schema. No more guessing table names or column types—AI sees the same metadata in your Python Connectors.

Your AI Knows SQL

How to find table names, column names, and how to generate SQL syntax are things that AI knows well from millions of training data. No need for customization, no hallucinations. Your AI acts like a domain specialist to Confluence.

More Accurate, More Token-Efficient

With CData CLI's queryable schema detection and highly efficient queries with filters, aggregation, joins with correct pushdown, your AI will achieve more accuracy with less token usage.
