Travis CI

API

CI/CD API to Automate GitHub Project Testing & Deployment

Overview

The Travis CI API is a RESTful interface for programmatic interaction with its continuous integration/deployment platform. It supports JSON request/response formats and offers endpoints for triggering builds, fetching build statuses/logs, managing repository settings, and querying job details. Use cases include automating build workflows for GitHub projects, integrating build statuses into dashboards, syncing results with project management tools (e.g., Jira), and triggering deployments post-successful builds. It enables teams to streamline development pipelines by embedding CI/CD controls into custom tools or third-party services.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://docs.travis-ci.com/api/')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
