Book ID?

[Maltavius]

I'm trying to run the Powershell Import HTML-script but I don't have a number that is a book ID. I cannot seem to find where the ID is present in the GUI of the application. I tried the name of the book as it's written in the URL but that didn't work.

@Maltavius It's not something that's specifically exposed in the UI. You can get IDs using the /api/books endpoint (You can go to that end point in your browser, while logged in as an API-allowed user, since it's just a GET request).

Alternatively, and less officially, you could paste the following into the browser developer console while viewing a book within the interface:

document.querySelector('[option\\:entity-search\\:entity-type="book"]').getAttribute('option:entity-search:entity-id')

Thanks, yes I did figure that out myself. /api/books/ helped,

But now I get

Create-BookstackPage : Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'Html'. Cannot convert value to type System.String.

Not sure about that.

You could maybe try adding the -Raw flag to the previous Get-Content call. Might be the case that I tested on single-line HTML files but PowerShell treats multi-line as an array of some kind.

My knowledge of Powershell is very limited, and keep in mind I wrote this using PowerShell (Core) 7.2.10 on Linux. As listed in the readme, there is this project which provides a more extensive PowerShell API project.

OK, most of my 800+ HTML-files are 1000+ (Biggest file is 10090) lines exported from Confluence. I need a way to import all of the Confluence Data into BookStack to be able to evaluate it properly, I thought this script might be it.
