OpenAPI standardization for Jenkins REST API
Motivation
- Working on a Spring Boot project to manage personal finance.
- APIs provide for opppurtunites to interact with software in the real world, making for a great avenue to build systems in the real world.
These are compelling reasons for graduate engineer.
What happens when I use REST APIs for builds?
What I gather from discussion is that there is value in accessing Jenkins using a REST API and currently the http request plugin is used to achieve the same outcome.
I have Identified the following steps to understand Jenkins and this project in particular
Understanding how Jenkins works
- Locally run an instance of Jenkins.
- Identify and record ways of using the Jenkins API in my project.
Understanding the OpenAPI specification
- Explore avenues where OpenAPI specification can be used for functions in my Spring Boot project
Where do I need Help
As mentioned by Oleg and Kristin, commiting to a relevant documentation issue would be a good starting point .
Suggest some open issues that are beginner friendly
I have tried the link mentioned in the detailed pdf , which does not seem to show any results. Following which I tried to search for an issue in javadocs, which did not yeild anything relevant to
the current issue.
Help me find the relevant issues in the relevant project, that would help me set up Jenkins locally and get a feel for Jenkins API.
