Nick: If you're using Git and Gerrit, then you can find the branch and sha1 under "actions" and "parameters" as name/value pairs, with name of "GERRIT_BRANCH" and "GERRIT_PATCHSET_REVISION". I don't know of a way to find the specific build except to walk a project's builds until you find it.
So, to be clear: - Start at http://*jenkins_url*/job/*project_name*/api/json?pretty=true - Find the array of "builds", each element of which contains a key/value pair of "url" and the URL you need to visit - E.g. a build URL will look like http://*jenkins_url*/job/*project_name*/ *build_number*/api/json?pretty=true - Look for "actions" -> "parameters" -> "name" == "GERRIT_BRANCH" I don't know of an easier way.
