Description: The Node API in Jenkins provides programmatic access to functionalities related to nodes, which are machines where build and test jobs are executed. This API allows developers to interact with Jenkins nodes efficiently, facilitating task automation and resource management. Through this API, details about the nodes’ status and configuration can be obtained, and actions such as creating, deleting, or modifying nodes can be performed. The Node API is essential for integrating Jenkins with other tools and systems, allowing for greater flexibility and customization in CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) workflows. Additionally, its RESTful design makes it easily consumable by external applications, making it a powerful tool for developers looking to optimize their software development and delivery processes.
