Jenkins provide continuous integration to software development. Jenkins job builds can be started by various methods, like manual triggering, scheduled cron-like mechanism, dependency builds, and by Jenkins API calls.<\/p>\n

This blog will cover Jenkins API Integration : Trigger Job Remotely via Jenkins API.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. \u00a0First, we need Jenkins API TOKEN which will be ‘configure’ tab on Jenkins.<\/p>\n

\"d\"<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Generate the URL for Jenkins Job.<\/p>\n

Go to Jenkins website and\u00a0add “api\/json”<\/strong>\u00a0to any page.\u00a0If we get a JSON response on the browser, then that page can be accessed remotely. For converting it to readable format, use “api\/json?pretty=true”<\/strong><\/p>\n

jenkins_url\/some_page\/api\/json<\/em><\/code><\/p>\n

For example :
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

\"b\"<\/p>\n

3. Make ‘HTTP POST’<\/strong> request to Jenkins server.<\/p>\n

NOTE: Jenkins only supports ‘HTTP POST’ request for remote requests.<\/p>\n

‘HTTP POST’ request can be of two types.<\/p>\n

(A) Without parameters :\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

URL FORMAT ->\u00a0jenkins_url\/job\/job_name\/build?token=TOKEN.<\/em><\/p>\n

For example :
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

(B) Parameterized :<\/strong><\/p>\n

URL FORMAT -> jenkins_url\/job\/job_name\/buildWithParameters?token=TOKEN&parameter=VALUE<\/p>\n

For Example :<\/p>\n

[code language=”objc”]
\nhttp:\/\/jenkins.example.com\/view\/testing\/job\/sample_selenium_test\/buildWithParameters?token=YOUR_TOKEN&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;parameter1=VALUE1&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;parameter2=VALUE2[\/code]<\/p>\n

After this, we also need to add {key:value} pair authorization<\/strong> to the ‘HTTP POST’ request. It will be in format
\n{auth: “jenkins_user_email:jenkins_user_password”}<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Final request will look like..<\/p>\n

Curl Request :\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

curl -v -X POST jenkins_url\/job\/job_name\/buildWithParameters
\n--data token=your_token
\n--user jenkins_user_email:jenkins_user_password
\n--data-urlencode json= '{\"parameter1\":\"value1\", \"parameter2\":\"value2\"}'
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Finally, we will get the response of ‘HTTP POST’ request with property ‘statusCode’ (201 for success, else for errors)<\/p>\n

\"c\"<\/p>\n

We have successfully triggered Jenkins job remotely. You may want to check it on Jenkins now.
\nWe also track the Job Status and Console remotely using Jenkins API which will be covered in my next blog.
