WebJobs API

Jump to bottom
Suwat Ch edited this page Apr 20, 2017 · 29 revisions

This API is accessed the same way as the git endpoint. e.g. if your git URL is https://yoursite.scm.azurewebsites.net/yoursite.git, then the API to get the list of deployments will be https://yoursite.scm.azurewebsites.net/deployments.

The credentials you use are the same as when you git push. See Deployment-credentials for more details.

Upload a triggered job as zip

Using a zip file containing the files for it, or just a single file (e.g foo.exe).

PUT /api/zip/site/wwwroot/App_Data/jobs/triggered/{job name}/

or

PUT /api/triggeredwebjobs/{job name}

Use Content-Type: application/zip for zip otherwise it's treated as a regular script file.

The file name should be in the Content-Dispostion header, example:

Content-Disposition: attachement; filename=run.cmd

Note: the difference between the two techniques is that the first just adds files into the folder, while the second first deletes any existing content before adding new files.

Delete a triggered job

DELETE /api/vfs/site/wwwroot/App_Data/jobs/triggered/{job name}?recursive=true

or

DELETE /api/triggeredwebjobs/{job name}

Invoke a triggered job

POST /api/triggeredwebjobs/{job name}/run

To run with arguments use the arguments parameters that will be added to the script when invoked. It also gets passed to the WebJob as the WEBJOBS_COMMAND_ARGUMENTS environment variable.

POST /api/triggeredwebjobs/{job name}/run?arguments={arguments}

Note: if the site has multiple instances, the job will run on one of them arbitrarily. This is the same behavior as regular requests sent to the site.

In the http response, you get back a location attribute, with a URL to the details of the run that was started. e.g.

Location: https://mysite.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/triggeredwebjobs/SomeJob/history/201605192149381933

List all triggered job runs history

    [
      {
        id: "20131103120400",
        status: "Success",
        start_time: "2013-11-08T02:56:00.000000Z",
        end_time: "2013-11-08T02:57:00.000000Z",
        duration: "00:01:00",
        output_url: "http://.../vfs/data/jobs/triggered/jobName/20131103120400/output_20131103120400.log",
        error_url: "http://.../vfs/data/jobs/triggered/jobName/20131103120400/error_20131103120400.log",
        url: "http://.../triggeredwebjobs/jobName/history/20131103120400",
        trigger: "Schedule - 0 0 0 * * *"
      },
      ...
    ]
}

Note: The job history is kept in D:\home\data\jobs\triggered\jobName folder. Each history of job is kept under different folder by datetime of the execution. The api returns all job history in datetime descending order (meaning latest on top). We only keep most recent 50 job history (configurable by WEBJOBS_HISTORY_SIZE appSettings).

Get a specific run for a specific triggered job

  {
    name: "jobName",
    status: "Running",
    runCommand: "...\run.cmd",
    log_url: "http://.../vfs/data/jobs/continuous/jobName/job.log",
    extra_info_url: "http://.../",

Get a specific continuous job by name

  extra_info_url: "http://.../",
  url: "http://.../continuouswebjobs/jobName",
  type: "continuous"
}

The status can take the following values:

  • Initializing
  • Starting
  • Running
  • PendingRestart
  • Stopped

Upload a continuous job as zip

Using a zip file containing the files for it.

PUT /api/zip/site/wwwroot/App_Data/jobs/continuous/{job name}/

or

PUT /api/continuouswebjobs/{job name}

Use Content-Type: application/zip for zip otherwise it's treated as a regular script file.

The file name should be in the Content-Dispostion header, example:

Content-Disposition: attachement; filename=run.cmd

Note: the difference between the two techniques is that the first just adds files into the folder, while the second first deletes any existing content before adding new files.

Delete a continuous job

DELETE /api/vfs/site/wwwroot/App_Data/jobs/continuous/{job name}?recursive=true

or

DELETE /api/continuouswebjobs/{job name}

Start a continuous job

POST /api/continuouswebjobs/{job name}/start

Stop a continuous job

POST /api/continuouswebjobs/{job name}/stop

Get continuous job settings

GET /api/continuouswebjobs/{job name}/settings

Response

{
  "is_singleton": true
}

Set a continuous job as singleton

If a continuous job is set as singleton it'll run only on a single instance opposed to running on all instances. By default, it runs on all instances.

PUT /api/continuouswebjobs/{job name}/settings

Body

{
  "is_singleton": true
}

To set a continuous job as singleton during deployment (without the need for the REST API) you can simply create a file called settings.job with the content: { "is_singleton": true } and put it at the root of the (specific) WebJob directory.

Set the schedule for a triggered job

You can set the schedule for invoking a triggered job by providing a cron expression made of 6 fields (second, minute, hour, day, month, day of the week).

PUT /api/triggeredwebjobs/{job name}/settings

Body

{
  "schedule": "0 */2 * * * *"
}

To set the schedule for a triggered job during deployment (without the need for the REST API) you can simply create a file called settings.job with the content: { "schedule": "0 */2 * * * *" } and put it at the root of the (specific) WebJob directory.
