Getting most recent execution by job via RunDeck API - rundeck

Question

Is there a more efficient way to get the most recent execution of every job in a RunDeck project that by (1) querying for the job list and then (2) querying for the max: 1 execution list of each job in serial?

Answer 1

The most efficient way to get all jobs last execution is getting the IDs, putting the IDs in a list, and then calling the execution endpoint based on this answer.
I made a working bash example using jq, take a look:
#!/bin/sh
# protocol
protocol="http"
# basic rundeck info
rdeck_host="localhost"
rdeck_port="4440"
rdeck_api="40"
rdeck_token="RQvvsGODsP8YhGUw6JARriXOAn6s6OQR"
# project name
project="ProjectEXAMPLE"
# first get all jobs (of ProjectEXAMPLE project)
jobs=$(curl -s --location "$protocol://$rdeck_host:$rdeck_port/api/$rdeck_api/project/$project/jobs" --header "Accept: application/json" --header "X-Rundeck-Auth-Token: $rdeck_token" --header "Content-Type: application/json" | jq -r .[].id)
# just for debug, print all jobs ids
echo $jobs
# then iterates on the jobs id's and extracting the last succeeded execution
for z in ${jobs}; do
curl -s --location "$protocol://$rdeck_host:$rdeck_port/api/$rdeck_api/job/$z/executions?status=succeeded&max=1" --header "Accept: application/json" --header "X-Rundeck-Auth-Token: $rdeck_token" --header "Content-Type: application/json" | jq
done
Sadly doesn't exist a direct way to do that in a single call.
