I am attempting to query Confluence knowledge base pages using the API and failing.
I have researched the api and have the following:
Browsing Content
curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:8080/confluence/rest/api/content/ | python -mjson.tool
Read Content and Expand the Body:
curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:8080/confluence/rest/api/content/3965072?expand=body.storage | python -mjson.tool
What I actually want to do is dump out the contents of a page / pages in a "Space" as Confluence calls it to a file, or on screen.
This is an actual page:
"https://bob.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BKB/pages/1234567/BOB KNOWLEDGE BANK"
And this is an example I found of using the REST API to do what I want:
curl -u admin:admin -G "http://myinstance.address:8090/rest/api/content/search" --data-urlencode "cql=(type=page and space=low and title ~ "LOWERTOWN")" \ | python -m json.tool
How I am translating what I have researched:
curl -u "[email protected]:12345678" -G "https://bob.atlassian.net/rest/api/content/search" --data-urlencode "cql=(type=page and space=BKB and title ~ "BOB KNOWLEDGE BANK")" \ | python -m json.tool
Which results in this error:
curl: (3) URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL
No JSON object could be decoded
I have grabbed my logic here from this site:
And I am assuming I have misunderstood this:
/rest/api/content/search
And where it belongs in my curl statement and linking it to the knowledge base. I am also unsure if applying the -mjson.tool is applicable in my case or if I actually have it installed / need to verify that.
Can you help me interpret this correctly?

You are almost there! You just need to pass cql as query parameter to the service as mentioned here in Atlassian documentation:
curl --request GET
--url 'https://your-domain.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/search?cql={cql}'
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <access_token>'
--header 'Accept: application/json'
