I think the ability to use an API to update the config of Jenkins would be great so I'm interested in any answers to this. Right now I'm using Jenkins Jobs Builder to build all my jobs for me but for certain things, its hard/impossible to do in a controller manner.
For instance if I add a new job that scps using the Publish over SSH plugin and the server being used is new, I can push my job changes into Jenkins but then I have to manually go and add a config for that server. Now I can probably whip up a groovy script or something (which I've tried and failed so if anyone can help there then that'd be great :) ), but would be good to have a more RESTful API approach to some of this.
