Jenkins
Jenkins is the leading open source automation server, providing hundreds of plugins for building, deploying, and automating software projects. Jenkins exposes a remote access REST API that supports XML, JSON, and Python representations and is the de facto standard automation engine for many organizations.
Jenkins is one of 8 APIs that Continuous Delivery Foundation publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.
Tagged areas include Automation, CI/CD, Jenkins, Pipelines, and REST. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, a getting-started guide, an OpenAPI specification, and a changelog.
This API exposes 10 operations across 10 paths, organized into 2 resource areas, and defines 14 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.1.0, at version 1.0.0.
Requests are made against 2 base URLs: {build_url}/stages, {job_url}/multi-pipeline-graph.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Jenkins, 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.
