When Confluence User Export is installed on your Confluence server, it is possible to use the REST API and servlets for creating files with user information. With the REST API and servlets you do not have to use the Confluence user interface for exporting each time. You can automate the user export if needed. Use the Python scripts found on the Python scripts page for inspiration.
