Launch a Jenkins build job from an other job

Question

I would want to launch a build of a Jenkins build job, without using plugins, but using a python script. Is there a function to do that ?

Example : I've a "job1" and a "job2". In a script of job1, I want to write something like "start(job2)"...

Any suggestion ?

Not sure why you don't want to use a plugin, which would make job configuration much more simple, but you could use the Remote Access API to achieve this.

I don't want to use a plugin because I need to launch jobs according some conditions, that I can just test in python script. Thanks for your answer, I'll read this documentation! – cooow Mar 12 '14 at 16:10

I've found a solution : I needed to add a token to my job, and when I call my job, I use this url : "https://jenkins-server.srv/job/my-job/build?delay=0sec&token=my-token"

I've chosen the token here : (sorry for the french version)

@cooowThe Url which you have given is not working will give new one. – Rakesh Kasinathan May 09 '20 at 13:10
