The "mode" parameter is expected here since you are triggering a job copy instead of a job creation (it's the same API endpoint, it differs only with the number/kind of parameters).
To trigger a job creation, you need something like : curl -v -XPOST 'http:// <JENKINS_IP>:<JENKINS_PORT>/createItem?name=bimbilimbimbim' --data-binary @config.xml -H "Content-Type:text/xml" --user <username>:<API-Token> With *config.xml *is a local file containing your new job configuration. You can go to http://${JENKINS_IP}:${JENKINS_PORT}/api with your browser to have documentation about that (*Create Job* and *Copy Job*). Hopefully it helps. 2017-07-31 3:44 GMT+02:00 Pradeep Patra <smilesonisa...@gmail.com>: > > > On Monday, July 31, 2017 at 7:21:08 AM UTC+8, mpapo - Michael Pailloncy > wrote: >> >> >>> I tried it and it is asking for mode?
