How do I find the correct SOAP URL for my instance of Confluence?

Question

I am using atlassian-cli-3.8.0 to try to connect to a Confluence 4.0 wiki hosted on my own server.

After configuring the server, username, and password inside the atlassian.sh file, I use the command

atlassian.sh confluence --action getServerInfo

I get the following error (domain and username removed).

Unable to log in to server: https://mydomain/rpc/soap-axis/confluenceservice-v1 with user: <myusername>
Cause: (404)Not Found

I then tried the URL above directly in my browser, and got a 404, as expected.

I have already enabled the remote API using the instructions here, so my best guess is that the SOAP URL is incorrect.

Is there a way to discover the correct SOAP URL using the wiki's interface, or the command line tool?

Answer 1

After looking at this post and trying various fragments of our URL, I realized I just needed to use http://mydomain/wiki as the base URL.

More generally, it appears that the first word (between the first and second / after the URL) after the domain needs to appended to the domain given to the --server option, although this does not appear to be documented anywhere.
