Develocity API User Manual | Develocity Documentation

The Develocity API allows programmatic interaction with various aspects of Develocity, from configuration to inspecting build data.

Fundamentals

The Develocity API is a REST-style API using JSON as the data format.

OpenAPI

The API is defined using the OpenAPI standard, which is a declarative specification that allows tools and libraries to generate client code. The specification can be found in the Reference section.

Versioning and compatibility

The API is generally backwards compatible.

New functionality (e.g. endpoints, response attributes) may be added in new major versions (i.e. 2022.1, 2022.2).

Breaking changes will occur infrequently if at all, and only after a reasonable deprecation period. Deprecations will be communicated by:

The release notes for the major Develocity version introducing the deprecation.
The deprecated annotation within the OpenAPI specification.
The Deprecated HTTP response header (indicating when the operation was deprecated).
The Sunset HTTP response header (indicating when the operation will be removed).

API documentation may be refined in patch releases, along with implementation defects that cause deviation from the specification.

Getting started

Access control

All requests must provide a Develocity access key as “bearer token”.

To create an access key:

Sign in to Develocity.
Access "My settings" from the user menu in the top right-hand corner of the page.
Access "Access keys" from the left-hand menu.
Click "Generate" on the right-hand side and copy the generated access key.

Different requests require different user permissions, as describe via the API specification.

To view the permissions assigned to you:

Sign in to Develocity.
Access "My settings" from the user menu in the top right-hand corner of the page.
Access "Permissions" from the left-hand menu.
Check if you have the required permissions.

If you do not have the required permission, contact your Develocity administrator.

Develocity access keys are long-lived, creating risks if they are leaked. To avoid this, users can use short-lived access tokens to authenticate with Develocity. Access tokens can be used wherever an access key would be used. Access tokens are only valid for the Develocity instance that created them.

Develocity server version 2024.1+ supports access tokens.

Changing a Develocity instance’s hostname will cause all existing access tokens to become invalid.

To create an access token:

Get an access key or access token for the user you wish to create a token for.
Decide which permissions the new access token should have.
If project-level access control is enabled, decide which projects the new access token should be able to access.
Decide how long the new access token should live.
Make a POST request to /api/auth/token, optionally with the following parameters. The response will be the access token.
1. A permissions= query parameter with the config values of each permission you wish to grant. By default, all permissions for the credential used to authenticate the token request are granted to the created token.
2. If project-level access control is enabled, a projectIds= query parameter with the ID of each project you wish to grant access to. By default, all projects for the credential used to authenticate the token request are granted to the created token.
3. An expiresInHours= query parameter with the token’s intended lifetime in hours, with a maximum of 24. The default is two hours, or the remaining lifetime of the credential used to authenticate the request, whichever is smaller.

The requested permissions and project ids can be specified as comma-seperated lists or repeated parameters. For example, ?projectIds=a,b&projectIds=c is valid and will request projects a, b, and c.

If project-level access control is not enabled, all access tokens will be granted the “Access all data without an associated project” permission even if it is not explicitly requested.

If the user creating the token does not have one of the requested permissions or projects, Develocity will respond with a 403 Forbidden error. If an access token is used to authenticate the creation request, its permissions and projects will be used for this check instead of the user’s. The request will also error if the requested lifetime would cause the new access token to expire after the one used to authenticate the request. Together, this means you cannot create an access token with more access or a later expiration than the credentials used to authenticate the request.

See the API documentation for more details on the /api/auth/token endpoint.

Here is an example using CURL to create an access token:

$ curl -X POST https://ge.mycompany.com/api/auth/token?permissions=publishScan,writeCache,accessDataWithoutAssociatedProject&projectIds=project-a,project-b&expiresInHours=1 \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer 7asejatf24zun43yshqufp7qi4ovcefxpykbwzqbzilcpwzb52ja"

The resulting token would have the following permissions:

“Publish Build Scans”
“Read and write Build Cache data”
“Access all data without an associated project”

And it would have access to these projects:

“project-a”
“project-b”

The token would only be usable for one hour.

Making a request

The following example demonstrates using cURL to make a request to the builds endpoint, which requires the “Access build data via the API” permission.

$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <access key or access token>" "https://ge.mycompany.com/api/builds?since=0&maxBuilds=3"

[
  {
    "id": "7asfp6iy3d5ey",
    "availableAt": 1645452789334,
    "buildToolType": "gradle",
    "buildToolVersion": "7.4",
    "buildAgentVersion": "3.8.1"
  },
  {
    "id": "1saxebtd5d4xs",
    "availableAt": 1645452795414,
    "buildToolType": "maven",
    "buildToolVersion": "3.8.4",
    "buildAgentVersion": "1.12.4"
  },
  {
    "id": "hx4k23knk64ri",
    "availableAt": 1645453205526,
    "buildToolType": "gradle",
    "buildToolVersion": "7.4",
    "buildAgentVersion": "3.8.1"
  }
]

The builds endpoint can be used to discover the builds observed by the system. This example fetches the 3 oldest builds due to the since=0&maxBuilds=3 parameters.

Appendix A: About the Export API

The Develocity API described in this document will eventually replace the Develocity Export API. At this time, the Develocity API does not allow consuming the raw events of a build as the Export API does.

If your existing usage of the Export API can be replaced with the easier-to-use Develocity API, please consider migrating. For assistance, please contact Develocity support.

Initial release

Appendix C: Advanced search syntax

Develocity supports the use of advanced search for filtering Build Scan data in the dashboards from version 2022.4, and in the Enterprise API from version 2023.3.

Each query can be made from one or more terms separated by spaces. Each term is a field name and search pattern: fieldName:pattern. For example, project:my-project is equivalent to entering my-project in the Project field in the basic search.

Field data types

Every supported field in the advanced search query language is associated with one data type. A field’s data type indicates what values it accepts, and each has its own syntax. The data types are all described below.

Data type	Description
String	Strings can be exact matches or use the * wildcard, unless specified otherwise. Whitespace and special characters need to be double-quoted. Searches are case-insensitive. project:my-project tag:"Tag with spaces" hostname:*.somedomain.com
Key-value pair	These take the form fieldName:key=value, with wildcards allowed and double-quoting required for whitespace and special characters. value:"Git branch=abc/my-feature" value:ci-agent=*.subdomain.com
Duration	Durations can be specified using ISO 8601 duration syntax or a simple syntax like 5m or 24h. buildDuration>30m buildDuration<=PT2H5.123S The units supported for simple duration syntax are 'd' for days, 'h' for hours, 'm' for minutes, 's' for seconds, and 'ms' for milliseconds.
Timestamp	Timestamps can be specified in a few different ways. YYYY-MM-DD - timestamp is at midnight on that day. YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM - seconds and milliseconds optional. YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSS All timestamps can have an optional timezone offset appended in the form Z or +HH:SS to be specific about which timezone the timestamp is being specified in. Default is timezone of the current web browser when using advanced search in Build Scan dashboards. Default is always UTC when using the Enterprise API. Timestamps in the form of a date can be queried using equality. buildStartTime:2023-09-01 - builds that ran on this day, UTC. buildStartTime:2023-09-01+01:00 - builds that ran on this day, BST (i.e. UTC+1). Timestamps can be queried using ranges in the form [start to finish]. buildStartTime:[2023-01-01 to 2023-02-01] - builds that ran from the Jan 1st - Feb 1st, inclusive. buildStartTime:[2023-09-01T13:00:00 to 2023-09-01T15:00:00] - builds that ran on Sep 1st from 1pm to 3pm. A timestamp can also be specified relative to the current time using duration syntax. buildStartTime>-5d - builds in the last 5 days. buildStartTime:[2023-01-01T05:23:30Z to -12h] - builds that ran from the start timestamp, until 12 hours ago.
Boolean	Boolean fields can be included as terms themselves, or they can have a value specified. If the term is used by itself, it is treated as if the value is "true", as is conventional. gradle.buildOptions.buildCacheEnabled gradle.buildOptions.buildCacheEnabled:true gradle.buildOptions.buildCacheEnabled:false Some boolean fields distinguish between a false value, and an unknown value. You can use a wildcard to acknowledge the account for unknown booleans in your queries. The first query below will match all builds for which the Build Cache was known to be either enabled or disabled. The second will match all builds for which it is unknown whether the Build Cache was enabled or disabled. gradle.buildOptions.buildCacheEnabled:* !gradle.buildOptions.buildCacheEnabled:* The following term will match builds where the Build Cache was not known to be enabled, rather than builds where the Build Cache was known to be disabled. !gradle.buildOptions.buildCacheEnabled
Number	Numbers can be exact matches or use a range. They can be integers or decimals, although for some fields only integers really make sense, for example the max number of workers in a Gradle build is always an integer. gradle.buildOptions.maxNumberOfGradleWorkers:4 gradle.buildOptions.maxNumberOfGradleWorkers>=8 gradle.buildOptions.maxNumberOfGradleWorkers:[3 to 6] gradle.buildOptions.maxNumberOfGradleWorkers<13.5
Storage size	Storage sizes represent a number of bytes. They are ultimately numbers, but they can have units, for convenience. As with numbers, they can be exact matches or use a range. If no unit is appended, the number value is interpreted as a number of bytes. gradle.environment.jvmMaxMemoryHeapSize:3000000 gradle.environment.jvmMaxMemoryHeapSize>=5.3gi gradle.environment.jvmMaxMemoryHeapSize:[8g to 12g] The units supported are: 'k' for 'kilobyte' representing 1000 bytes 'ki' for 'kibibyte' representing 1024 bytes 'm' for 'megabyte' representing 1000² bytes 'mi' for 'mebibyte' representing 1024² bytes 'g' for 'gigabyte' representing 1000³ bytes 'gi' for 'gibibyte' representing 1024³ bytes 't' for 'terabyte' representing 1000⁴ bytes 'ti' for 'tebibyte' representing 1024⁴ bytes Optionally, a 'b' may be appended to the end of these units. Thus, 500mb is the same as 500m, and 500mib is the same as 500mi. Units are also case-insensitive, so 500MiB is the same as 500mib.

Data type

Description

String

Strings can be exact matches or use the * wildcard, unless specified otherwise. Whitespace and special characters need to be double-quoted. Searches are case-insensitive.

project:my-project
tag:"Tag with spaces"
hostname:*.somedomain.com

Key-value pair

These take the form fieldName:key=value, with wildcards allowed and double-quoting required for whitespace and special characters.

value:"Git branch=abc/my-feature"
value:ci-agent=*.subdomain.com

Duration

Durations can be specified using ISO 8601 duration syntax or a simple syntax like 5m or 24h.

buildDuration>30m
buildDuration<=PT2H5.123S

The units supported for simple duration syntax are 'd' for days, 'h' for hours, 'm' for minutes, 's' for seconds, and 'ms' for milliseconds.

Timestamp

Timestamps can be specified in a few different ways.

YYYY-MM-DD - timestamp is at midnight on that day.
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM - seconds and milliseconds optional.
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSS

All timestamps can have an optional timezone offset appended in the form Z or +HH:SS to be specific about which timezone the timestamp is being specified in. Default is timezone of the current web browser when using advanced search in Build Scan dashboards. Default is always UTC when using the Enterprise API.

Timestamps in the form of a date can be queried using equality.

buildStartTime:2023-09-01 - builds that ran on this day, UTC.
buildStartTime:2023-09-01+01:00 - builds that ran on this day, BST (i.e. UTC+1).

Timestamps can be queried using ranges in the form [start to finish].

buildStartTime:[2023-01-01 to 2023-02-01] - builds that ran from the Jan 1st - Feb 1st, inclusive.
buildStartTime:[2023-09-01T13:00:00 to 2023-09-01T15:00:00] - builds that ran on Sep 1st from 1pm to 3pm.

A timestamp can also be specified relative to the current time using duration syntax.

buildStartTime>-5d - builds in the last 5 days.
buildStartTime:[2023-01-01T05:23:30Z to -12h] - builds that ran from the start timestamp, until 12 hours ago.

Boolean

Boolean fields can be included as terms themselves, or they can have a value specified. If the term is used by itself, it is treated as if the value is "true", as is conventional.

gradle.buildOptions.buildCacheEnabled
gradle.buildOptions.buildCacheEnabled:true
gradle.buildOptions.buildCacheEnabled:false

Some boolean fields distinguish between a false value, and an unknown value. You can use a wildcard to acknowledge the account for unknown booleans in your queries. The first query below will match all builds for which the Build Cache was known to be either enabled or disabled. The second will match all builds for which it is unknown whether the Build Cache was enabled or disabled.

gradle.buildOptions.buildCacheEnabled:*
!gradle.buildOptions.buildCacheEnabled:*

The following term will match builds where the Build Cache was not known to be enabled, rather than builds where the Build Cache was known to be disabled.

!gradle.buildOptions.buildCacheEnabled

Number

Numbers can be exact matches or use a range. They can be integers or decimals, although for some fields only integers really make sense, for example the max number of workers in a Gradle build is always an integer.

gradle.buildOptions.maxNumberOfGradleWorkers:4
gradle.buildOptions.maxNumberOfGradleWorkers>=8
gradle.buildOptions.maxNumberOfGradleWorkers:[3 to 6]
gradle.buildOptions.maxNumberOfGradleWorkers<13.5

Storage size

Storage sizes represent a number of bytes. They are ultimately numbers, but they can have units, for convenience. As with numbers, they can be exact matches or use a range. If no unit is appended, the number value is interpreted as a number of bytes.

gradle.environment.jvmMaxMemoryHeapSize:3000000
gradle.environment.jvmMaxMemoryHeapSize>=5.3gi
gradle.environment.jvmMaxMemoryHeapSize:[8g to 12g]

The units supported are:

'k' for 'kilobyte' representing 1000 bytes
'ki' for 'kibibyte' representing 1024 bytes
'm' for 'megabyte' representing 1000² bytes
'mi' for 'mebibyte' representing 1024² bytes
'g' for 'gigabyte' representing 1000³ bytes
'gi' for 'gibibyte' representing 1024³ bytes
't' for 'terabyte' representing 1000⁴ bytes
'ti' for 'tebibyte' representing 1024⁴ bytes

Optionally, a 'b' may be appended to the end of these units. Thus, 500mb is the same as 500m, and 500mib is the same as 500mi. Units are also case-insensitive, so 500MiB is the same as 500mib.

Combining terms

By default, all terms must match.

Terms can be combined using boolean and and or operators, and grouped using parentheses.

user:dylan or (tag:CI and value:branch=dylan/*)

Terms can also be negated using - or not.

project:my-project -tag:local
user:dylan or not (tag:CI and value:branch=dylan/*)
