Trigger Jenkins via Webhook REST API

Currently, you can only remotely trigger builds that are connected to a pull request.

API

Use Webhook to Jenkins to trigger Jenkins via using its REST API via the following endpoint:

/rest/jenkins/latest/projects/{BITBUCKET_PROJECT_SLUG}/repos/{BITBUCKET_REPOSITORY_SLUG}/triggerJenkins?pr_id={PULL_REQUEST_ID}

We've created a sample python script that updates the settings for you. Refer to the Python example.

The REST API requires the following inputs

BITBUCKET_PROJECT_SLUG	The Bitbucket project string id
BITBUCKET_REPOSITORY_SLUG	The Bitbucket repository string id
PULL_REQUEST_ID	The ID of the pull request
