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.
