Project Features

Project features (for example, issue trackers, versioned settings, custom charts, shared resources and third-party report tabs) are exposed as entries under the "project" node and via dedicated requests.

List of project features

http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/projects/<projectLocator>/projectFeatures

To filter features, add ?locator=<projectFeaturesLocator> to the URL, for example to find all issue tracker features of GitHub type, use the locator type:IssueTracker,property(name:type,value:GithubIssues).

Create a feature

POST to /projects/<projectLocator>/projectFeatures.

Edit features

GET/DELETE/PUT http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/projects/<projectLocator>/projectFeatures/<featureId>

VCS Roots

List all VCS roots

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/vcs-roots

Add the locator=<vcsRootLocator> parameter to list only the matched VCS roots.

Get details of a VCS root/delete a VCS root

GET/DELETE http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/vcs-roots/<vcsRootLocator>

where <vcsRootLocator> can be id:<internal VCS root id> or other VCS root locator.

Create a new VCS root

POST VCS root XML (similar to the one retrieved by a GET request for VCS root details) to http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/vcs-roots.

Also supported:

where <field_name> is id, name, project (post the project locator to project to associate a VCS root with a specific project).

List VCS root instances*

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/vcs-root-instances?locator=<vcsRootInstancesLocator>

Since TeamCity 10.0:

There are two endpoints dedicated to being used in commit hooks from the version control repositories: POST http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/vcs-root-instances/checkingForChangesQueue?locator=<vcsRootInstancesLocator>

It schedules checking for changes for the matched VCS root instances and returns the list of VCS root instances matched (just like GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/vcs-root-instances?locator=<vcsRootInstancesLocator>): POST http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/vcs-root-instances/commitHookNotification?locator=<vcsRootInstancesLocator>

It schedules checking for changes for the matched VCS root instances and returns plain-text human-readable message on the action performed, HTTP response 202 in case of successful operation.

Both perform the same action (put the VCS root instances matched by the <locator>) to the queue for "checking for changes" process and differ only in responses they produce.

Note that since the matched VCS root instances are the same as for ../app/rest/vcs-root-instances?locator=<locator> request and that means that by default only the first 100 are matched and the rest are ignored. If this limit is reached, consider tweaking the <locator> to match fewer instances (recommended) or increase the limit, for example by adding ,count:1000 to the locator.

VCS root instance locator

Some supported <vcsRootInstancesLocator> from above:

  • type:<VCS root type> — VCS root instances of the specified version control (for example, jetbrains.git, mercurial, svn).

  • vcsRoot:(<vcsRootLocator>) — VCS root instances corresponding to the VCS root matched by <vcsRootLocator>.

  • buildType:(<buildTypeLocator>) — VCS root instances attached to the matching build configuration.

  • property:(name:<name>,value:<value>,matchType:<matching>) — VCS root instances with the property of name <name> and value matching condition <matchType> (for example, equals, contains) by the value <value>.

Cloud Profiles

TeamCity REST API exposes the same cloud integration details as those provided in the TeamCity UI.

List all cloud profiles

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/cloud/profiles

List all cloud images

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/cloud/images

List all cloud instances

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/cloud/instances

Start a new instance

POST http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/cloud/instances

The posted XML/JSON contents are the same as returned by GET for one instance.

Example of XML for an instance:

<cloudInstance id="profileId:<profileId>,imageId:<imageId>,id:<instanceId>" name="<instanceName>"> <image id="profileId:<profileId>,id:<imageId>" name="<imageName>"/> </cloudInstance>

Stop a running instance

DELETE http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/cloud/instances/<instanceLocator>

Build Configuration And Template Settings

Get build configuration/template details

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildTypes/<buildConfigurationLocator>

Read more on the build configuration locator.

Note that there is no transaction, for example support for settings editing in TeamCity, so all the settings modified via REST API are taken into account at once. This can result in half-configured builds triggered and other issues. Make sure you pause a build configuration before changing its settings if this aspect is important for your case.

To get aggregated status for several build configurations, see the Build Status Icon section.

Get/set paused build configuration state

GET/PUT http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildTypes/<buildTypeLocator>/paused

Put true or false text as text/plain.

Build configuration settings

GET/DELETE/PUT http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildTypes/<buildTypeLocator>/settings/<setting_name>

Build configuration parameters

GET/DELETE/PUT http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildTypes/<buildTypeLocator>/parameters/<parameter_name>

It produces XML, JSON, and plain text depending on the Accept header, accepts plain text, XML, and JSON. The .../parameters/<parameter_name>/name and .../parameters/<parameter_name>/value requests are also supported.

Build configuration steps

GET/DELETE http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildTypes/<buildTypeLocator>/steps/<step_id>

Create build configuration step

POST http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildTypes/<buildTypeLocator>/steps

The XML/JSON posted is the same as retrieved by GET request to .../steps/<step_id> except for the secure settings like password: these are not included into responses and should be supplied before POSTing back.

Features, triggers, agent requirements, artifact, and snapshot dependencies follow the same pattern as steps (above) with the respective URLs

http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildTypes/<buildTypeLocator>/features/<id> http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildTypes/<buildTypeLocator>/triggers/<id> http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildTypes/<buildTypeLocator>/agent-requirements/ http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildTypes/<buildTypeLocator>/artifact-dependencies/<id> http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildTypes/<buildTypeLocator>/snapshot-dependencies/<id>

Since TeamCity 10, it is possible to disable/enable artifact dependencies and agent requirements.

Disable/enable an artifact dependency

PUT http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildTypes/<buildTypeLocator>/artifact-dependencies/<id>/disabled

Put true or false text as text/plain.

Build configuration VCS roots

GET/DELETE http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildTypes/<buildTypeLocator>/vcs-root-entries/<id>

Attach VCS root to a build configuration

POST http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildTypes/<buildTypeLocator>/vcs-root-entries

The XML/JSON posted is the same as retrieved by GET request to http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildTypes/<buildTypeLocator>/vcs-root-entries/<id> except for the secure settings like password: these are not included into responses and should be supplied before POSTing back.

Create a new build configuration with all settings

POST http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildTypes

The XML/JSON posted is the same as retrieved by GET request. Note that /app/rest/project/XXX/buildTypes still uses the previous version notation and accepts another entity.

Create a new empty build configuration

POST plain text (name) to http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/projects/<projectLocator>/buildTypes.

Copy a build configuration

POST XML <newBuildTypeDescription name='Conf Name' sourceBuildTypeLocator='id:XXX' copyAllAssociatedSettings='true' shareVCSRoots='false'/>

to http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/projects/<projectLocator>/buildTypes.

Read, detach, and attach a build configuration from/to a template

Since TeamCity 2017.2:

GET/DELETE/POST/PUT http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildTypes/<buildTypeLocator>/templates

Before TeamCity 2017.2:

GET/DELETE/POST/PUT http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildTypes/<buildTypeLocator>/template

Put accepts template locator with the text/plain Content-Type).

Set build number counter

curl -v --basic --user <username>:<password> --request PUT http://<teamcity.url>/app/rest/buildTypes/<buildTypeLocator>/settings/buildNumberCounter --data <new number> --header "Content-Type: text/plain"

Set build number format

curl -v --basic --user <username>:<password> --request PUT http://<teamcity.url>/app/rest/buildTypes/<buildTypeLocator>/settings/buildNumberPattern --data <new format> --header "Content-Type: text/plain"

Build Configuration Locator

The most frequently used values for <buildTypeLocator> are id:<buildConfigurationOrTemplate_id> and name:<Build%20Configuration%20name>.

Since TeamCity 2017.2, the experimental type locator is supported with one of the values: regular, composite, or deployment.

Other supported dimensions are (these are in experimental state):

  • internalId — internal ID of the build configuration.

  • project — <projectLocator> to limit the build configurations to those belonging to a single project.

  • affectedProject — <projectLocator> to limit the build configurations under a single project (recursively).

  • template — <buildTypeLocator> of a template to list only build configurations using the template.

  • templateFlag — boolean value to get only templates or only non-templates.

  • paused — boolean value to filter paused/not paused build configurations.

Build Requests

List builds

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/?locator=<buildLocator>

Get details of a specific build

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/<buildLocator>

Also supports DELETE to delete a build.

Get the list of build configurations in a project with the status of the last finished build in each build configuration

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildTypes?locator=affectedProject:(id:ProjectId)&fields=buildType(id,name,builds($locator(running:false,canceled:false,count:1),build(number,status,statusText)))

Build Locator

Using a locator in build-related requests, you can filter the builds to be returned in the build-related requests. It is referred to as build locator in the scope of REST API.

For some requests, a default filtering is applied which returns only "normal" builds (finished builds which are not canceled, not failed-to-start, not personal, and on default branch (in branched build configurations)), unless those types of builds are specifically requested via the locator. To turn off this default filter and process all builds, add the defaultFilter:false dimension to the build locator. Default filtering varies depending on the specified locator dimensions. For example, when agent or user dimensions are present, personal, canceled, and failed to start builds are included into the results.

Examples of supported build locators:

  • id:<internal build id> — use internal build ID when you need to refer to a specific build.

  • number:<build number> — to find build by build number, provided build configuration is already specified.

  • <dimension1>:<value1>,<dimension2>:<value2> — to find builds by multiple criteria.

The list of supported build locator dimensions:

  • project:<project locator> — limit the list to the builds of the specified project (belonging to any build type directly under the project).

  • affectedProject:<project locator> — limit the list to the builds of the specified project (belonging to any build type directly or indirectly under the project)

  • buildType:(<buildTypeLocator>),defaultFilter:false — all the builds of the specified build configuration

  • tag:<tag> — since TeamCity 10, get tagged builds. If a list of tags is specified, for example tag:<tag1>, tag:<tag2>, only the builds containing all the specified tags are returned. The legacy tags:<tags> locator is supported for compatibility.

  • status:<SUCCESS/FAILURE/UNKNOWN> — list builds with the specified status only.

  • user:(<userLocator>) — limit builds to only those triggered by the user specified.

  • personal:<true/false/any> — limit builds by the personal flag. By default, personal builds are not included.

  • canceled:<true/false/any> — limit builds by the canceled flag. By default, canceled builds are not included.

  • failedToStart:<true/false/any> — limit builds by the failed to start flag. By default, failed to start builds are not included.

  • state:<queued/running/finished> — limit builds by the specified state.

  • running:<true/false/any> — limit builds by the running flag. By default, running builds are not included.

  • state:running,hanging:true — fetch hanging builds (since TeamCity 10.0).

  • pinned:<true/false/any> — limit builds by the pinned flag.

  • branch:<branch locator> — limit the builds by branch. <branch locator> can be the branch name displayed in the UI, or (name:<name>,default:<true/false/any>,unspecified:<true/false/any>,branched:<true/false/any>). By default only builds from the default branch are returned. To retrieve all builds, add the following locator: branch:default:any. The whole path will look like this: /app/rest/builds/?locator=buildType:One_Git,branch:default:any.

  • revision:<REVISION> — find builds by revision, for example all builds of the given build configuration with the revision: /app/rest/builds?locator=revision:(REVISION),buildType:(id:BUILD_TYPE_ID). See more information below.

  • agentName:<name> — agent name to return only builds ran on the agent with the specified name.

  • sinceBuild:(<buildLocator>) — limit the list of builds only to those after the one specified

  • sinceDate:<date> — limit the list of builds only to those started after the date specified. The date should be in the same format as dates returned by REST API (for example, 20130305T170030+0400).

  • queuedDate/startDate/finishDate:(date:<time-date>,build:<build locator>,condition:<before/after>) — filter builds based on the time specified by the build locator, for example for the builds finished after November 23, 2017, 20:34:46, GMT+1 timezone use: finishDate:(date:20171123T203446%2B0100,condition:after).

  • count:<number> — serve only the specified number of builds.

  • start:<number> — list the builds from the list starting from the position specified (zero-based).

  • lookupLimit:<number> — limit processing to the latest N builds only (the default is 5000). If none of the latest N builds match the other specified criteria of the build locator, 404 response is returned for single build request and empty collection for multiple builds request. See the related note.

Queued Builds

Get a build queue

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildQueue

Supported locators:

  • project:<locator>
  • buildType:<locator>

Get details of a queued build

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildQueue/id:XXX

For queued builds with snapshot dependencies, the revisions are available in the revisions element of the queued build node if a revision is fixed (for regular builds without snapshot dependencies it is not).

Get compatible agents for queued builds (useful for builds having "No agents" to run on)

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildQueue/id:XXX/compatibleAgents

Examples:

List queued builds per project

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildQueue?locator=project:<locator>

List queued builds per build configuration

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildQueue?locator=buildType:<locator>

Triggering a Build

To start a build, send a POST request to http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildQueue with the "build" node (see below) in content — the same node as details of a queued build or finished build. The queued build details will be returned.

When the build is started, the request to the queued build (/app/rest/buildQueue/XXX) will return running/finished build data. This way, you can monitor the build completeness by querying build details using the href attribute of the build details returned on build triggering, until the build has the state="finished" attribute.

Build node example

Basic build for a build configuration:

<build> <buildType id="buildConfID"/> </build>

Build for a branch marked as personal with a fixed agent, comment and a custom parameter:

<build personal="true" branchName="logicBuildBranch"> <buildType id="buildConfID"/> <agent id="3"/> <comment><text>build triggering comment</text></comment> <properties> <property name="env.myEnv" value="bbb"/> </properties> </build>

Queued build assignment to an agent pool:

<build>... <agent> <pool id="N"/> </agent> ... </build>

Build on a change of given revision, forced rebuild of all dependencies and clean sources before the build, moved to the build queue top on triggering. (Note that the change should be already known to TeamCity (displayed in UI for the build configuration, more on the "lastChanges" element):

<build> <triggeringOptions cleanSources="true" rebuildAllDependencies="true" queueAtTop="true"/> <buildType id="buildConfID"/> <lastChanges> <change locator="version:a286767fc1154b0c2b93d5728dd5bbcdefdfaca,buildType:(id:buildConfID)"/> </lastChanges> </build>

Example command line for the build triggering:

curl -v -u user:password http://teamcity.server.url:8111/app/rest/buildQueue --request POST --header "Content-Type:application/xml" --data-binary @build.xml

Build Tags

Get tags

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/<buildLocator>/tags/

Replace tags

PUT http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/<buildLocator>/tags/

Put the same XML or JSON as returned by GET.

Add tags

POST http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/<buildLocator>/tags/

Post the same XML or JSON as returned by GET or just a plain-text tag name; <buildLocator> here should match a single build only.

Example of XML for two tags:

<tags> <tag name="<tag1>"/> <tag name="<tag2>"/> </tags>

Build Pinning

Get current pin status

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/<buildLocator>/pin/

Pin a build

PUT http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/<buildLocator>/pin/

The text in the request data is added as a comment for the action.

Unpin a build

DELETE http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/<buildLocator>/pin/

The text in the request data is added as a comment for the action; <buildLocator> here should match a single build only.

Build Canceling/Stopping

Cancel a queued build

POST the <buildCancelRequest comment='CommentText' readdIntoQueue='false'/> item to the URL of a queued build. Example:

curl -v -u user:password --request POST "http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildQueue/<buildLocator>" --data "<buildCancelRequest comment='' readdIntoQueue='false' />" --header "Content-Type: application/xml"

Stop a running build and readd it to the queue

POST the <buildCancelRequest comment='CommentText' readdIntoQueue='true' /> item to the URL of a running build. Example:

curl -v -u user:password --request POST "http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/<buildLocator>" --data "<buildCancelRequest comment='' readdIntoQueue='true' />" --header "Content-Type: application/xml"

Set readdIntoQueue to false to stop the build without readding it to the queue.

See the canceledInfo element of the build item

Available via GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/<buildLocator>.

Build Artifacts

Return the content of a build artifact file for a build determined by <build_locator>

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/<build_locator>/artifacts/content/<path>

<path> can be empty for the root of build's artifacts or be a path within the build's artifacts. The path can span into the archive content, for example, dir/path/archive.zip!/path_within_archive.

  • Media-Type: application/octet-stream or a more specific media type (determined from artifact file extension).

  • Possible error: 400 if the specified path references a directory.

Return information about a build artifact

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/<build_locator>/artifacts/metadata/<path>

  • Media-Type: application/xml or application/json.

Return the list of artifact children for directories and archives

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/<build_locator>/artifacts/children/<path>

  • Media-Type: application/xml or application/json.

  • Possible error: 400 if the artifact is neither a directory nor an archive.

Return an archive containing the list of artifacts under the path specified

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/<build_locator>/artifacts/archived/<path>?locator=pattern:<wildcard>

The optional locator parameter can have file <wildcard> to limit the files only to those matching the wildcard. <artifact relative name> supports referencing files under archives using the !/ delimiter after the archive name.

  • Media-Type: application/zip.

  • Possible error: 400 if the artifact is neither a directory nor an archive.

Examples:

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/id:100/artifacts/children/my-great-tool-0.1.jar!/META-INF GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/buildType:(id:Build_Intallers),status:SUCCESS/artifacts/metadata/my-great-tool-0.1.jar!/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/buildType:(id:Build_Intallers),number:16.7.0.2/artifacts/metadata/my-great-tool-0.1.jar!/lib/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar!/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/buildType:(id:Build_Intallers),tag:release/artifacts/content/my-great-tool-0.1.jar!/lib/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar!/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

Authentication

If you download artifacts from within a TeamCity build, consider using values of teamcity.auth.userId/teamcity.auth.password system properties as credentials for the download artifacts request: this way TeamCity will have a way to record that one build used artifacts of another and will display it on the build's Dependencies tab.

Other Build Requests

Changes

<changes> is meant to represent changes the same way as displayed in the build's Changes in TeamCity UI. In the most cases these are the commits between the current and previous build. The <changes> tag is not included into the build by default, it has the href attribute only. If you execute the request specified in href, you'll get the required changes.

Get the list of all changes included into the build

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/changes?locator=build:(id:<buildId>)

Get details of an individual change

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/changes/id:changeId

Get information about a changed file action

The file's node lists changed files. The information about the changed file action is reported via the changeType attribute for the files listed as added, edited, removed, copied, or unchanged.

Filter all changes by a locator

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/changes?locator=<changeLocator>

Get all changes for a project

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/changes?locator=project:projectId

Get all the changes in a build configuration since a particular change identified by its ID

http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/changes?locator=buildType:(id:buildConfigurationId),sinceChange:(id:changeId)

Get pending changes for a build configuration

http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/changes?locator=buildType:(id:BUILD_CONF_ID),pending:true

The <lastChanges> tag contains information about the last commit included into the build. When triggering a build, its nested <change> element can contain the locator field that specifies what change to use for the build triggering.

Revisions

The <revisions> tag the same as revisions table on the build's Changes tab in TeamCity UI: it lists the revisions of all VCS repositories associated with this build that will be checked out by the build on the agent. A revision might or might not correspond to a change known to TeamCity. For example, for a newly created build configuration and a VCS root, a revision will have no corresponding change.

Get all builds with the specified revision

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds?locator=revision(version:XXXX)

Since TeamCity 10, <versionedSettingsRevision> is added to represent revision of the versioned settings of the build.

Snapshot dependencies

Find all the snapshot dependency builds in the build chain upstream for the build with the ID XXXX.

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds?locator=snapshotDependency:(to:(id:XXXX),includeInitial:true),defaultFilter:false

Find all the snapshot-dependent builds in all build chains downstream for the build with the ID XXXX.

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds?locator=snapshotDependency:(from:(id:XXXX),includeInitial:true),defaultFilter:false

Artifact dependencies

Since TeamCity 10.0.3, there is an experimental ability to:

Get all the builds which downloaded artifacts from the build with the given ID (Delivered artifacts in the TeamCity web UI)

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds?locator=artifactDependency:(from:(id:<build ID>),recursive:false)

Get all the builds whose artifacts were downloaded by the build with the given ID (Downloaded artifacts in the TeamCity web UI)

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds?locator=<buildLocator>&fields=build(id,vcsLabels:$long)

or via a separate request:

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/<buildLocator>/vcsLabels?fields=status,text

Add a VCS label to a build

POST http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/<buildLocator>/vcsLabels?locator=<vcsRootInstanceLocator>&fields=build(id,vcsLabels)

where locator is optional and specifies where to put labels; if not specified, a label will be added to all instances of a VCS root.

Build Parameters

Typed Parameters Specification

List typed parameters

For a project:

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/projects/<locator>/parameters

For a build configuration:

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildTypes/<locator>/parameters

The information returned is: parameters count, property name, value, and type. The rawValue of the type element is the parameter specification as defined in the UI.

Get details of a specific parameter

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildTypes/<locator>/parameters/<name>

Accepts/returns plain-text, XML, JSON. Supply the relevant Content-Type header to the request.

Create a new parameter

POST the same XML or JSON or just plain-text as returned by GET to http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/buildTypes/<locator>/parameters/. Note that secure parameters, for example type=password, are listed, but the values not included into response, so the result should be amended before POSTing back.

Example of XML for setting a property:

<property name="<parameterName>" value=""> <type rawValue="password"/> </property>

Since TeamCity 9.1, partial updates of a parameter are possible (currently in an experimental state):

Build Status Icon

Icon that represents a build status:

An .svg icon (recommended)

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/<buildLocator>/statusIcon.svg

A .png icon

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/<buildLocator>/statusIcon

Icon that represents build status for several builds (since TeamCity 10.0)

GET request and strob build locator dimension.

Example request:

For project with the PROJECT_ID ID:

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/aggregated/strob:(buildType:(project:(id:PROJECT_ID)))/statusIcon.svg

For all active branches in a build configuration with the BUILD_CONF_ID ID:

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/aggregated/strob:(branch:(buildType:(id:BUILD_CONF_ID),policy:active_history_and_active_vcs_branches),locator:(buildType:(id:BUILD_CONF_ID)))/statusIcon.svg

For request /app/rest/builds/aggregated/<build locator> the status is calculated by list of the builds: app/rest/builds?locator=<build locator>. This allows embedding a build status icon into any HTML page with a simple img tag:

For build configuration with the BUILD_CONF_ID ID:

Status of the last build:

<img src="http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/buildType:(id:BUILD_CONF_ID)/statusIcon.svg"/>

Status of the last build tagged with the myTag tag:

<img src="http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/builds/buildType:(id:BUILD_CONF_ID),tag:myTag/statusIcon.svg"/>
BuildSuccessfulStatus.svg

All other build locators are supported.

For example, you can use the following markdown markup to add the build status for GitHub repository for the build configuration with ID TeamCityPluginsByJetBrains_TeamcityGoogleTagManagerPlugin_Build and server https://teamcity.jetbrains.com with guest authentication enabled:

[![Build status](https://teamcity.jetbrains.com/guestAuth/app/rest/builds/buildType:(id:TeamCityPluginsByJetBrains_TeamcityGoogleTagManagerPlugin_Build)/statusIcon.svg](https://teamcity.jetbrains.com/viewType.html?buildTypeId=TeamCityPluginsByJetBrains_TeamcityGoogleTagManagerPlugin_Build)
If the returned image contains "no permission to get data" text (no-permission-to-get-data.svg), ensure that one of the following is true:

  • The server has the guest user access enabled, and the guest user has permissions to access the build configuration referenced, or

  • The build configuration referenced has the "enable status widget" option ON.

  • You are logged in to the TeamCity server in the same browser and you have permissions to view the build configuration referenced. Note that this will not help for embedded images in GitHub pages as GitHub retrieves the images from the server side.

TeamCity Licensing Information Requests

Since TeamCity 10:

Licensing information

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/server/licensingData

List of license keys

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/server/licensingData/licenseKeys

License key details

GET http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/server/licensingData/licenseKeys/<license_key>

Add license key(s)

POST text/plain newline-delimited keys to http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/server/licensingData/licenseKeys.

Delete a license key

DELETE http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/server/licensingData/licenseKeys/<license_key>

CCTray

CCTray-compatible XML is available via http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/cctray/projects.xml.

Without authentication (only build configurations available for guest user): http://teamcity:8111/guestAuth/app/rest/cctray/projects.xml.

The CCTray-format XML does not include paused build configurations by default. The URL accepts the locator parameter instead with standard build configuration locator.

Request Examples

You can use curl command line tool to interact with the TeamCity REST API.

Example command:

curl -v --basic --user USERNAME:PASSWORD --request POST "http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/users/" --data @data.xml --header "Content-Type: application/xml"

where USERNAME, PASSWORD, teamcity:8111 are to be substituted with real values, and data.xml file contains the data to send to the server.

Creating a new project

Using curl tool:

curl -v -u USER:PASSWORD http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/projects --header "Content-Type: application/xml" --data-binary "<newProjectDescription name='New Project Name' id='newProjectId'><parentProject locator='id:project1'/></newProjectDescription>"

Making user a system administrator

  1. Get super user token.

  2. Issue the request.

  3. Get curl command line tool and use a command line:

curl -v -u :SUPERUSER_TOKEN --request PUT http://teamcity:8111/app/rest/users/username:USERNAME/roles/SYSTEM_ADMIN/g/

where SUPERUSER_TOKEN is the super user token unique for each server start; teamcity:8111 — the TeamCity server URL; USERNAME — the username of the user to be made the system administrator.
