Confluence Cloud REST/API

There is a hard coded limit of 5242880 bytes (5 *1024 *1024) for the maximum data payload when making a REST call to Confluence. Our documentation on

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/intro/#using

does not mention the limit.

Our Apps, unaware of this limitation, may exceed this limit - for instance, the Enterprise Customer Amadeus using Stiltsoft macro Table Filter:

The macro tries to call a rest api to transform the storage format to view format and this API fails as it tries to send more than the limit of the API which is 5242880 bytes per payload, causing the macro to keep spinning instead of rendering the table.

Limit observed for this request: rest/api/contentbody/convert/async/export_view
