Codeship

API

Cloud-based Continuous Integration API for automated builds and deployments

Overview

The Codeship API (part of CloudBees Codeship) provides programmatic access to cloud-hosted CI/CD workflows. Key endpoints include managing projects, triggering builds, retrieving build statuses, and accessing pipeline details. Responses are formatted in JSON. Use cases include automating build triggers from external tools (e.g., issue trackers, chat apps), integrating build status updates into dashboards, and streamlining CI/CD pipeline management at scale. It follows RESTful principles to embed Codeship’s capabilities into custom workflows or third-party applications.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
