The same thing exists for Confluence.

It gets better, too. Not only do you get the user-friendly interface, pre-built templates and library of ready-to-use scripts with ScriptRunner, you can define your automations using ScriptRunner HAPI.
HAPI is a human-friendly way to get what you need out of Confluence without yielding scripting power. HAPI scripts are up to 70% shorter than their full Groovy equivalents, and much more intuitive to write.
Explore the power of the Confluence API for Data Center
Atlassian provides great documentation for their APIs, and the Confluence Data Center version is no different. It's available here, including some examples for how to use the Confluence API to achieve what you need.
ScriptRunner takes all of this power and puts it into an easier-to-use interface.
Already as a business we rely on the amazing functionality ScriptRunner for Jira brings and when recently we had a specific problem to solve in our DC Confluence instance I looked to what ScriptRunner could do to help. We had 6000+ pages of content that had different HTML macros with a URL in each that needed to be changed. The support team introduced me to the very recently added in built script: 'Update Macro' and with some invaluable help and support with the code for the macro those pages are now updated. This would have taken many days of tedious manual work otherwise and I achieved it in approx 3 hours as an automated process. Fantastic support for a fantastic product.

ScriptRunner is a powerful tool for admins and users alike on Confluence and Jira. It's that thing you didn't know you needed until you have it. Recently, when I couldn't find a good example or the right groovy class to meet my script requirement, support responded quickly with the right method call. Another amazing resource is the Adaptavist library of scripts. Check it out!
