What is the format of the JSON for a Jenkins REST buildWithParameters to override the default parameters values - rest

Question

I am able to build a Jenkins job with its parameters' default values by sending a POST call to
http://jenkins:8080/view/Orion_phase_2/job/test_remote_api_triggerring/buildWithParameters
and I can override the default parameters "product", "suites" and "markers by sending to this URL:
http://jenkins:8080/view/Orion_phase_2/job/test_remote_api_triggerring/buildWithParameters?product=ALL&suites=ALL&markers=ALL
But I saw examples were the parameters can be override by sending a JSON body with new values. I am trying to do that by sending the following json bodies. Neither of them works for me.
{
'product': 'ALL',
'suites': 'ALL',
'markers': 'ALL'
}
and
{
"parameter": [
{
"name": "product",
"value": "ALL"
},
{
"name": "suites",
"value": "ALL"
},
{
"name": "markers",
"value": "ALL"
}
]
}
What JSON to send if I want to override the values of parameters "product", "suites" & "markers"?

Answer 1

I'll leave the original question as is and elaborate here on the various API calls to trigger parameterized builds. These are the calls options that I used.
Additional documentation: https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Remote+access+API
The job contains 3 parameters named: product, suites, markers
Send the parameters as URL query parameters to /buildWithParameters:
http://jenkins:8080/view/Orion_phase_2/job/test_remote_api_triggerring/buildWithParameters?product=ALL&suites=ALL&markers=ALL
Send the parameters as JSON data\payload to /build:
http://jenkins:8080/view/Orion_phase_2/job/test_remote_api_triggerring/build
The JSON data\payload is not sent as the call's json_body (which is what confused me), but rater in the data payload as:
json:'{
"parameter": [
{"name":"product", "value":"123"},
{"name":"suites", "value":"high"},
{"name":"markers", "value":"Hello"}
]
}'
And here are the CURL commands for each of the above calls:
curl -X POST -H "Jenkins-Crumb:2e11fc9...0ed4883a14a" http://jenkins:8080/view/Orion_phase_2/job/test_remote_api_triggerring/build --user "raameeil:228366f31...f655eb82058ad12d" --form json='{"parameter": [{"name":"product", "value":"123"}, {"name":"suites", "value":"high"}, {"name":"markers", "value":"Hello"}]}'
curl -X POST \
'http://jenkins:8080/view/Orion_phase_2/job/test_remote_api_triggerring/buildWithParameters?product=234&suites=333&markers=555' \
-H 'authorization: Basic c2hsb21pb...ODRlNjU1ZWI4MjAyOGFkMTJk' \
-H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
-H 'jenkins-crumb: 0bed4c7...9031c735a' \
-H 'postman-token: 0fb2ef51-...-...-...-6430e9263c3b'
What to send to Python's requests
In order to send the above calls in Python you will need to pass:
headers = jenkins-crumb
auth = tuple of your (user_name, user_auth_token)
data = dictionary type { 'json' : json string of {"parameter":[....]} }

Answer 2

curl -v POST http://user:token#host:port/job/my-job/build --data-urlencode json='{"parameter": [{"name":"xx", "value":"xxx"}]}
or use Python request:
import requests
import json
url = " http://user:token#host:port/job/my-job/build "
pyload = {"parameter": [
{"name":"xx", "value":"xxx"},
]}
data = {'json': json.dumps(pyload)}
rep = requests.post(url, data)
