Jenkins REST API Create job

by

Jenkins by default has CSRF Protection enabled which prevents one-click attacks. To invoke the request, you need to obtain the crumb from /crumbIssuer/api/xml using your credentials and include it into your request.

For example:

CRUMB=$(curl -s 'http://USER:TOKEN@localhost:8080/crumbIssuer/api/xml?xpath=concat(//crumbRequestField,":",//crumb)')

Then you can create a job (by including the crumb into your header):

curl -X POST -H "$CRUMB" "http://USER:TOKEN@localhost:8080/createItem?name=NewJob"

If the above won’t work, check your crumb (echo $CRUMB) or run curl with -u USER:TOKEN.
