Jenkins

Jenkins is the leading open source automation server that enables developers to reliably build, test, and deploy software. Jenkins exposes a machine-consumable Remote Access API for nearly every resource it manages, available in XML (with XPath filtering), JSON (with JSONP), and a Python-compatible variant, and supports HTTP Basic auth with API tokens for scripted clients.

Jenkins publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Computer API, Jobs API, Queue API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Automation, Build Server, CI/CD, Continuous Delivery, and Continuous Integration.

Jenkins’ developer surface includes authentication, changelog, CLI, getting-started guide, documentation, engineering blog, and 29 more developer resources.
