Create a job in Jenkins (or folder) using the HTTP API

CreateJob.sh

# check if job exists
curl -XGET 'http://jenkins/checkJobName?value=yourJobFolderName' --user user.name:YourAPIToken

# with folder plugin
curl -s -XPOST 'http://jenkins/job/FolderName/createItem?name=yourJobName' --data-binary @config.xml -H "Content-Type:text/xml" --user user.name:YourAPIToken

# without folder plugin
curl -s -XPOST 'http://jenkins/createItem?name=yourJobName' --data-binary @config.xml -H "Content-Type:text/xml" --user user.name:YourAPIToken

# create folder
curl -XPOST 'http://jenkins/createItem?name=FolderName&mode=com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.folder.Folder&from=&json=%7B%22name%22%3A%22FolderName%22%2C%22mode%22%3A%22com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.folder.Folder%22%2C%22from%22%3A%22%22%2C%22Submit%22%3A%22OK%22%7D&Submit=OK' --user user.name:YourAPIToken -H "Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
