Introduction

Welcome to the GoCD API! You can use our API to access GoCD API endpoints, which can get information about the server’s configuration and build history. In addition it can be used to update configuration and execute builds.

We currently provide language bindings in Shell! You can view code examples on the right-hand side of the page.

All APIs SHOULD be accessed from https://go-server-url:8154/go/api. All data SHOULD be sent and recieved as JSON, specifically application/vnd.go.cd[.VERSION]+json. You may access the APIs over plain text, but for security reasons we suggest that you use TLS.

API versions

It is recommended to explicitly request the version of an API via the Accept: application/vnd.go.cd[.VERSION]+json header, with an appropriate version. Some examples are:

Accept: application/vnd.go.cd.v1+json

Accept: application/vnd.go.cd.v2+json etc

Each documented API endpoint shows the correct version to use in its usage documentation.

Beginning with GoCD version 19.8, it is possible to omit the version number by specifying Accept: application/vnd.go.cd+json. This will render the latest version.

If you specify an unsupported Accept header, GoCD will respond with a status code 404 error message The url you are trying to reach appears to be incorrect.

GoCD Deprecated APIs

GoCD may deprecate APIs for any of the following reasons:

In order to convey the API deprecation information to the API consumers, GoCD adds following deprecation headers for a deprecated API:

Revoking deprecations

Occasionally, the deprecation of an API may be modified/reversed for some unavoidable reasons. In such situations, the subsequent GoCD releases will provide the updated deprecated headers with information relevant to the decision. Refer changelog section for the list of deprecated APIs.

Authentication

All APIs require you to authenticate yourself using your username and password. Starting with version 19.2.0 of GoCD, users may also use a bearer token to authenticate. If authentication fails, GoCD server may return status codes 401, 403 or 404.

Bearer token authentication

Available since v19.2.0.

To authorize, use this code:

# With shell, you can just pass the correct header with each request
$ curl 'https://ci.example.com/go/api/current_user' \
      -H 'Authorization: bearer YOUR_TOKEN' \
      -H 'Accept: application/vnd.go.cd.v1+json'

Make sure to replace the YOUR_TOKEN the API token you use to access the GoCD server. The above command returns the following response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/vnd.go.cd.v1+json; charset=utf-8
{
  "_links": {
    "doc": {
      "href": "https://api.gocd.org/#users"
    },
    "current_user": {
      "href": "https://ci.example.com/go/api/current_user"
    },
    "self": {
      "href": "https://ci.example.com/go/api/users/username"
    },
    "find": {
      "href": "https://ci.example.com/go/api/users/:login_name"
    }
  },
  "login_name": "username",
  "display_name": "username",
  "enabled": true,
  "email": "demo@example.com",
  "email_me": true,
  "checkin_aliases": []
}

To generate an access token, navigate to https://ci.example.com:8154/go/access_tokens, or use the access token API.

Basic authentication

To authorize, use this code:

# With shell, you can just pass the correct header with each request
$ curl 'https://ci.example.com/go/api/current_user' \
      -u 'username:password' \
      -H 'Accept: application/vnd.go.cd.v1+json'

Make sure to replace the username and password with the username and password that you use to access the GoCD server. The above command returns the following response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/vnd.go.cd.v1+json; charset=utf-8
{
  "_links": {
    "doc": {
      "href": "https://api.gocd.org/#users"
    },
    "current_user": {
      "href": "https://ci.example.com/go/api/current_user"
    },
    "self": {
      "href": "https://ci.example.com/go/api/users/username"
    },
    "find": {
      "href": "https://ci.example.com/go/api/users/:login_name"
    }
  },
  "login_name": "username",
  "display_name": "username",
  "enabled": true,
  "email": "demo@example.com",
  "email_me": true,
  "checkin_aliases": []
}

To use Basic Authentication with the GoCD API, simply send the username and password associated with the account.

Artifact Store

The artifact store API allows admin users to define and manage configuration of external artifact repository. The artifact plugin will use the artifact store config to upload artifact to an external repository.

Scheduling allows user to trigger a specific pipeline.

Available since v18.2.0.

HTTP Request

POST /go/api/pipelines/:pipeline_name/schedule

The following properties may be specified.

Attribute Type Description
environment_variables Array A list of environment variables that can be overridden while scheduling the pipeline.
materials Array A list of materials that must be used to trigger a new instance of the pipeline. Defaults to triggering with the latest revision of all pipelines.
update_materials_before_scheduling Boolean Whether a material update should be updated before scheduling. See more information about this flag below. Defaults to true.

Returns

A message indicating if the request was accepted.

The update_materials_before_scheduling flag

When the update_materials_before_scheduling flag is false, then GoCD does not run a material update before scheduling the pipeline.

When the update_materials_before_scheduling flag is true (as it is by default), then a material update is run before the pipeline is scheduled. This can cause new commits to be seen for the materials of the pipeline, causing GoCD to use those commits for scheduling the pipeline.
