Working with Wiki Pages

Create a Wiki Page

Let's create our data file.

1) Create the file WikiNewPage01.xml, with bellow content:

 <entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
 <title type="text">My First Wiki</title>
 <content type="text/html">
  <![CDATA[<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><p>
  <strong>Hello World!</strong>
  </p>]]>
 </content>
 <category term="wikipagetag1" />
 <category term="wikipagetag2" />
 <category scheme="tag:ibm.com,2006:td/type" term="page" label="page" />
 </entry>
 

Save.

2) Now run curl comand to create

curl -XPOST "https://{hostname}:{port}/wikis/basic/api/wiki/{wiki-label}/feed"
-H "Content-Type: application/atom+xml; charset=utf-8" --data "@WikiNewPage01.xml"  -u {username}:{password} -v -k -L

If no error, refresh you Wiki to see the new page created (on left side).

Create a Wiki Page as Child

Let's create our data file.

1) Create the file WikiNewPageChild01.xml, with bellow content:

 <entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
 <title type="text">My First Child Wiki</title>
 <content type="text/html">
  <![CDATA[<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><p>
  <strong>Hello World! Child</strong>
  </p>]]>
 </content>
 <category term="wikipagetag1" />
 <category term="wikipagetag2" />
 <category scheme="tag:ibm.com,2006:td/type" term="page" label="page" />
 <parentUuid xmlns="urn:ibm.com/td">{parentUuid}</parentUuid>
 </entry>
 

Replace the parentUuid and Save.

2) Now run curl command to create, with a new X-Update-Nonce header:

curl -XPOST "https://{hostname}:{port}/wikis/basic/api/wiki/{wiki-label}/feed"
-H "X-Update-Nonce: <NONCE>" -H "Content-Type: application/atom+xml; charset=utf-8" --data "@WikiNewPageChild01.xml"  
-u {username}:{password} -v -k -L

If no error, refresh you Wiki to see the new page created (on left side).

Tips

Issues with content element

• {wiki-label} is the wiki to which you want to add the page.

• Prefixing the html in the content element with the following:

<![CDATA[<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

and ending it with:

]]>

fixes an issue to display content.

• Use
  or

  to restrict content.

Tags

Use

 <category term="wikipagetag1" />

to tag your wiki page.
