Jenkins: Trigger build remotely via script using Authentication Token

Powershell:

$acctname = "admin"
$password = "password"
$server = "localhost"
$port = "8080"
$jobName = "test02"
$jobToken = "test02_authentication_token"
$params = @{uri = "http://${server}:${port}/job/${jobName}/build?token=${jobToken}";
            Method = 'Get';
            Headers = @{Authorization = 'Basic ' + [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes("$(${acctname}):$(${password})"));}}
Invoke-RestMethod @params

Python:

import requests

api_proto = 'http'
api_url = 'localhost'
api_port = '8080'
api_job = 'test02'
api_token = 'test02_authentication_token'
api_user = 'admin'
api_pass = 'password'

api_resp = requests.get(api_proto + '://' + api_user + ':' + api_pass + '@' + api_url + ':' + api_port + '/job/' + api_job + '/build?token=' + api_token)
if api_resp.status_code == 201 :
    print(api_resp)
else:
    print('could not trigger job: ' + api_job)

This snippet triggers a Jenkins job from outside the web UI by calling the job build URL with an authentication token. Remote triggers like this let you start builds from scripts, schedulers, or other systems.

Each job has its own token configured in its trigger settings, and the request must include it. The same pattern is the basis for chaining jobs and integrating Jenkins with external automation.
