How to get Atlassian Confluence Space permissions by REST API?

Question

I'm using Atlassian Confluence REST API. I need to get Space permissions. I couldn't find any info on it in the documentation.

Does anyone know how to get these permissions?

Answer 1

I can see virtually no documentation about this, however having looked at the Confluence REST API Browser, I've got a working example below. You have to be a Confluence admin, or space admin for the space...

It's using the old JSON-RPC REST APIs which have been deprecated and will eventually be replaced. But when they are replaced, you can refactor, right?
