Queue and Monitor a Build

with Azure DevOps · Continuous Integration Management

Queue a build, poll to completion, and retrieve its timeline.

  1. Queue a new build for the supplied definition, optionally overriding the source branch.
  2. Fetch the build by ID and check its status. While the build is still in progress, loop back and poll again; once completed, continue to the timeline step.
  3. Fetch the detailed build timeline to expose the per-task pass/fail state of the completed build.
What you'll need to have ready
  • apiVersion: Azure DevOps REST API version (e.g. 7.1).
  • definitionId: ID of the build definition to queue.
  • sourceBranch: Optional source branch override (e.g. refs/heads/main).
  • accessToken: Azure DevOps bearer (OAuth 2.0) access token.
