  title: Jenkins Remote Access Computer Server API
  description: Jenkins exposes a machine-consumable Remote Access API for nearly every resource it manages. The API is accessed by appending /api/ to any Jenkins resource URL (top-level Jenkins, jobs, builds, queue, computers, views). The API supports XML (with XPath filtering), JSON (with JSONP), and a Python-compatible variant. HTTP Basic authentication with API tokens is used for authenticated requests, and the X-Jenkins response header advertises the Jenkins version.
