Build History API - IncrediBuild Documentation

Last updated on Oct 15, 2023 This feature is only available in Incredibuild’s Enterprise Plan. You can receive data about your builds in a JSON file. This allows you to take this data and view it in dashboards using third party tools, as well as store it for reference and analysis. The data can be filtered by time, build group, and other fields. This API requires an API Key and an Enterprise license. Note that Incredibuild only stores the last 200,000 builds on our database.

Request

Endpoint

GET https://<coordinator IP>:8000/api/builds?coordinatorId=<coordinator ID>&version=<API version>&<other filters>

Where version is the version of the Incredibuild API. For the Build Data API, only version 1.3.0 is currently supported. Header The request must include a header with a key called client-api-key and the value of your API Key as a string. Endpoint Filters: You can add any of the following filters to the request endpoint to limit the results:

Field	Values	Values
buildStartTimeFrom	Only include builds that started before this time	ISO format. For example: 2022-09-28T16:01:29.000
buildEndTimeTo	Only include builds that ended before this time	ISO format. For example: 2022-09-28T16:01:29.000
initiatorID	Only include builds initiated by a specific Initiator	string
buildGroup	Only include builds run by initiators in a specific Build Group	string
buildTitle	Only include builds with the specified title	string
buildStatus	Only include builds that match a specific status	{a,b,c,d}
buildDurationFrom	Only include builds that were at least this long	integer (seconds)
buildDurationTo	Only include builds that were shorter than this value.	integer (seconds)
buildType	Only include builds that match a specific build type	{Build, Clean, Rebuild, Unknown}

Examples:

Return all builds:

GET https://10.132.15.166:8000/api/builds?coordinatorId=12345&version=1.3.0

Return builds that started after a particular time:

GET https://10.132.15.166:8000/api/builds?coordinatorId=12345&version=1.3.0&buildStartTimeFrom=2023-08-17T16:01:29.000Z

Return builds run from the Default Build Group:

GET https://10.132.15.166:8000/api/builds?coordinatorId=12345&version=1.3.0&buildGroup=Default

Return builds with the build type=Rebuild

GET https://10.132.15.166:8000/api/builds?coordinatorId=12345&version=1.3.0&buildType=Rebuild

If your results return more than 300 builds, you will see that the totalCount is greater than 300, but the value of buildsCount is 300 (as seen in the example below). To view the next 300, copy the value of the nextPageToken and use it in another request as follows:

GET https://10.132.15.166:8000/api/builds?coordinatorId=12345&version=1.3.0&nextPageToken="<value in JSON below>"

Response

The response is a JSON file that includes up to 300 builds.

Field	Description
totalCount	Total number of builds that match the request
buildsCount	Number of builds included in this JSON. If this number is less than totalCount, it means that there are more than 300 builds and they cannot all be included in a single JSON. To view the next 300, copy the nextPageToken value and use it as a parameter in another request. For example: GET https://10.132.15.166:8000/api/builds?coordinatorId=12345&version=1.3.0&`nextPageToken=“NjAw”`
nextPageToken	See buildsCount
builds	An array of the builds included in the file
coordinatorId	The ID of the Coordinator associated with this build
buildId	The ID of the build
initiatorId	The ID of the agent that initiated the build
startTime	The time the build was started
endTime	The time the build ended
duration	The length of the build in seconds
buildPriority
buildTitle
buildStatus	The status of the build upon completion
buildType
helpers	The list of helpers that participated in this build
totalWorkingHelpers	The total number of unique helpers that assisted in this build
maxInitiatorCores	The maximum number of Initiator cores used to run this build
avgInitiatorCores	The average number of Initiator cores used to run this build
maxConcurrentWorkingHelpers	The maximum number of unique helpers working at one time during this build
avgConcurrentWorkingHelpers	The average number of unique helpers working at one time during this build
avgBusyHelperCores	The average number of helper cores working at one time during this build
maxBusyHelperCores	The maximum number of helper cores working at one time during this build
avgBusyCloudHelperCores	The average number of Cloud helper cores working at one time during this build
maxBusyCloudHelperCores	The maximum number of Cloud helper cores working at one time during this build
maxNeededHelperCores	The maximum number of helper cores requested
avgNeededHelperCores	The average number of helper cores requested
numberOfLocalTasks	Total number of tasks executed on the Initiator for this build
numberOfRemoteTasks	Total number of tasks that were executed remotely on physical machines (not cloud)
numberOfCloudTasks	Total number of tasks that were executed remotely on Cloud machines
remoteCoreTime	The total time (seconds) that was used to execute tasks remotely (physical and cloud)
coreLimit	The setting for the maximum number of allowed concurrent helper cores per build
totalCacheableTasks
cacheTaskHits	When using Build Cache, the number of tasks that were skipped by reusing output from the Build Cache.
cacheTaskMiss	When using Build Cache, the number of tasks that were run after failing to find a match in the Build Cache.
cacheInitiatorRole
savedTime	Estimate of how much time was saved by using Build Cache
cacheServiceEndpoint
cacheLicenseAllowed
createdAt
