      summary: Atlassian Export Audit Records
      description: The Export Audit Records operation is a GET endpoint in the Atlassian Confluence Audit API accessible via `/wiki/rest/api/audit/export` that allows administrators to retrieve and download audit log data from their Confluence instance. This endpoint enables users to export audit records in a structured format for compliance, security analysis, archival purposes, or integration with external monitoring and SIEM systems. The operation typically supports filtering parameters to narrow down the audit records by date range, event type, user, or affected content, and returns the data in a downloadable format such as CSV or JSON. This functionality is essential for organizations that need to maintain comprehensive audit trails of user activities, content changes, permission modifications, and system events within their Confluence workspace for regulatory compliance and security auditing requirements.

      summary: Atlassian Get Audit Records for Time Period
      description: The Atlassian Confluence Audit API endpoint `/wiki/rest/api/audit/since` using the GET method retrieves audit records that have been created since a specified time period. This operation allows administrators and authorized users to query and review system audit logs within a defined timeframe, providing visibility into user actions, system changes, and security-related events that occurred after a particular timestamp. The endpoint is essential for compliance monitoring, security auditing, and tracking changes made to Confluence spaces, pages, and configuration settings over time.
