[Buildbot-devel] Looking for suggestions (TrySchedulers - Buildbot 0.9)

Wed Jan 28 11:19:13 UTC 2015

You can have a look at chrome developer tools (network tab) to see the use
of REST api.
The url you should use is:
http://nine.buildbot.net/api/v2/builders/1

in
http://nine.buildbot.net/#/about
You have a formal description of all REST apis

There are all straighforward mapping the internal 'data' api, which is
described here:
http://docs.buildbot.net/latest/developer/data.html
