Thanks for your efforts sti, but I need a solution that purely uses the REST API, as I have no access to the Jenkins instances in question. I'm a little surprised that there is no way to get this information, as the timestamps are fairly meaningless without some way to qualify them against the Jenkins server time. I would have thought that the REST API call for the root resource should contain this.
