Gradle Comparison API

Endpoints for comparing two builds to identify differences in work unit inputs, dependencies, and other dimensions.To access these endpoints the user requires the `Access build data via the API` permission.

Gradle Comparison API is one of 9 APIs that Gradle publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

Tagged areas include Comparison. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and an API reference.

This API exposes 2 operations across 2 paths, and defines 19 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.2.0, at version 2026.2.0.

Requests are made against a single base URL, https://develocity.example.com.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Gradle Comparison API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
