  title: CloudBees CI REST API (Jenkins-compatible) Create Item API
  description: 'CloudBees CI exposes the Jenkins remote-access REST API for inspecting and

    controlling jobs, builds, queues, and computers. Append `/api/json`,

    `/api/xml`, or `/api/python` to any URL on the controller to retrieve

    machine-readable metadata. Use the `tree` query parameter to limit the

    payload (recommended for performance). Authenticate with an API token via

    HTTP Basic Auth.'
