Overview

This skill provides analytics and statistics for Confluence content, including page view information, contributor data, space-level analytics, popular content identification, and watcher lists.

Note: Confluence Cloud has limited analytics APIs compared to Server/Data Center. This skill uses the v1 REST API's history endpoints and CQL queries to provide analytics insights.

confluence analytics popular

Find the most popular or most recently updated content.

Uses CQL queries with ordering to identify popular content based on:

• Recent creation date
• Recent modification date
• Labels (e.g., "featured", "important")

Usage:

confluence analytics popular [--space SPACE_KEY] [--label LABEL] [--type TYPE] [--sort SORT] [--limit N] [--output json]

Arguments:

• --space - Space key to search within (optional)
• --label - Filter by label (optional)
• --type - Content type: page, blogpost, or all (default: all)
• --sort - Sort by: created or modified (default: modified)
• --limit - Number of results (default: 10)
• --output - Output format: text or json (default: text)

Note: Both --space and --label are optional. If neither is specified, the command searches across all accessible spaces.

Examples:

# Most recently modified in space
confluence analytics popular --space DOCS

# Most recently created pages
confluence analytics popular --space DOCS --type page --sort created --limit 5

# Content with featured label
confluence analytics popular --label featured --limit 10

# Recent blog posts
confluence analytics popular --space DOCS --type blogpost --limit 5

Output (text):

confluence analytics watchers

Get the list of users watching a page (who will be notified of changes).

Usage:

confluence analytics watchers PAGE_ID [--output json]

Arguments:

• PAGE_ID - The page or blog post ID (required)
• --output - Output format: text or json (default: text)

Examples:

# Get watchers for a page

✓ Found 3 watcher(s)

Note: Some Confluence Cloud instances may have restricted watcher API access. If the watchers endpoint is not available, the command will report this.

Natural Language Examples

When you ask Claude about analytics, this skill will be triggered:

• "Show me the analytics for page 12345"
• "Who has contributed to this page?"
• "Get statistics for the DOCS space"
• "What are the most popular pages in the KB space?"
• "Show me the most recently updated content"
• "Who is watching page 12345?"
• "Find the top 5 most active pages"
• "Get space analytics for the last 30 days"
• "Show me featured content"
• "What are the most viewed pages?"

API Endpoints Used

This skill uses the following Confluence REST API endpoints:

v1 API (Legacy)

• GET /rest/api/content/{id}?expand=history,version,history.contributors.publishers - Page analytics
• GET /rest/api/search?cql={query} - CQL search for content
• GET /rest/api/content/{id}/notification/child-created - Watchers

CQL Queries

• space={key} AND type=page - All pages in space
• space={key} AND created >= "{date}" - Recent content
• type=page ORDER BY lastModified DESC - Recently modified
• type=page ORDER BY created DESC - Recently created
• label={name} - Content with label

Limitations

1. No Direct View Count: Confluence Cloud API does not expose actual view/visit counts like Server/Data Center
2. Watchers API: May be restricted on some Confluence Cloud instances
3. Analytics Proxy: Uses modification dates, contributor lists, and labels as proxies for popularity
4. Rate Limits: Large spaces may hit API rate limits during analytics gathering
