readme.md

• Get the config.xml from a pre-created job or create another one according to the need :

➜  curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/job/test-pipeline/config.xml -u admin:admin -o config.xml
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100  1599  100  1599    0     0  18518      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 18593

• Generate Crumb :

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

➜  echo $CRUMB
Jenkins-Crumb:d11aea06df13cdeb17ab7a12f2832eae

• Use xml to create another jenkins job :

➜  curl -s -XPOST 'http://localhost:8080/createItem?name=api-job-test' -u admin:admin --data-binary @config.xml -H "$CRUMB" -H "Content-Type:text/xml"
