Installing Jenkins plugins via API?

[dduvnjak]

Is there a Jenkins API call which enables remote plugin installation?

The documentation implies that possibility, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'm trying to automatically install several plugins on newly spun up Jenkins instances.

I use the command line interface with the command "install-plugins" followed by the name of the plugin.

java -jar jenkins-cli.jar http://127.0.0.1:8080/ install-plugins Claim CppCheck Git Findbugs HGCA HTMLPublisher

etc.

Is that what you're seeking?

My command line has a typo.  The command should be:

java -jar jenkins-cli.jar http://127.0.0.1:8080/ install-plugin Claim CppCheck Git Findbugs HGCA HTMLPublisher 

You can see the list of commands available through the command line with

java -jar jenkins-cli.jar http://127.0.0.1:8080/ help

Hi Mike,

I'm actually looking for the REST API.
