How to find and query a specific build in Jenkins using the Python Jenkins API
Use the /api/xml format:
https://jenkinsurl/job/folder_level1/api/xmlwhich returns the action XML node which can be queried via XPath:
Take the matching name from there to search for the data in question:
- builtOn - the machine that the build is being deployed on
- number - the version number of the package that is deployed
Using an XPath for each, along with a wrapper node for grouping, such as the following for builtOn:
https://jenkinsurl/job/folder_level1/api/xml?depth=3&xpath=//fullDisplayName[contains(text(),'foo')]/following-sibling::builtOn&wrapper=builtOn_resultsand another for version:
https://jenkinsurl/job/folder_level1/api/xml?depth=3&xpath=//fullDisplayName[contains(text(),'foo')]/following-sibling::number&wrapper=version_resultsReferences
