In case you are a newbie with Jenkins read through this article: http://com.puter.tips/2017/09/getting-up-and-running-with-jenkins.html Build Jenkins Job Remotely I have found two ways in which you can trigger a build on job remotely via scripting. Both methods are simple HTTP Get/Post requests, nothing fancy here. Along with these Requests we need to pass login credentials. Method 0: No protection enabled => This is the case when you are in a secure environment and have disabled all additional protection mechanism like CSRF (Method 1) and Authentication Token (Method 2). If this is the case then you can simply trigger a HTTP Request like this: 'http://username:password@jenkins_url:port/job/job_name/build' e.g. http://admin:pass@localhost:8080/job/job1/build

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 = 'test01' api_user = 'admin' api_pass = 'password' api_crumb = requests.get(api_proto + '://' + api_user + ':' + api_pass + '@' + api_url + ':' + api_port + '/crumbIssuer/api/json') if api_crumb.status_code == 200 :     api_crumb = api_crumb.json()['crumb'] resp = requests.post(api_proto + '://' + api_url + ':' + api_port + '/job/' + api_job + '/build', auth=(api_user, api_pass), headers={"Jenkins-Crumb":api_crumb}) if resp.status_code == 201:     print(api_job + ' was triggered successfuly..')

Jenkins: The leading open source automation server, Jenkins provides hundreds of plugins to support building, deploying and automating any project. Jenkins is a Continuous Integration server. Basically Continuous Integration is the practice of running your tests on a non-developer machine automatically every-time someone pushes new code into the source repository.
