It might be you have two different instances of Confluence and want to embed data from one instance to another.
If the instances share the same user base you can create an application link between them and use the HTML Include Macro to show the page.

- Click on Create link button
- Select Atlassian Product and add the link to the Confluence URL
- As with all application links, you need to make sure that the instances can connect to each other and that the certificate is trusted between them.
- Continue to link the applications
- Once the applications are linked, you can create a New Page
- Choose to include the HTML include macro
- Add the URL to the page you want to show from the other instance
- Publish the Page
