Virtual Folder to show all Jobs for an endpoint about anystatus

[RadAd]

It seems to work without the tree option. ie:
https://builds.apache.org/api/json?depth=999&pretty=true

Well that seemd to work:
https://builds.apache.org/api/json?tree=jobs[name,buildable,jobs[name,buildable,jobs[name,buildable]]]&pretty

Maybe the depth could be an option when adding the top level entry.

Tried it once. I found it difficult to get the full jobs tree from Jenkins
for example, the link below returns just the top level
https://builds.apache.org/api/json?tree=jobs[name]&depth=999

[RadAd]

Oh ok. My jenkins server only has about 10 items and they are all at the top level. The drop down in the jenkins widget finds them all.

According to this SO question the query can either return all information using the depth parameter, which is too much data in my opinion. In the case of "builds.apache.org" I was unable to get a response from the server.

Alternatively, the query can concatenate the levels within the tree parameter. For example (depth = 3):
api/json?tree=jobs[name,buildable,jobs[name,buildable,jobs[name,buildable]]]

I prefer the second option because of the limited amount of data returned.
If we can build a query that is "deep" enough for most users, that would be a break through for me to complete the feature.
Also, I'm not sure how the query handles tree items such as Folders, etc.

Nice idea! the depth may be configured by the user and have a reasonable default of 3-5 levels.
We will then be able to generate the query string dynamically. Cool!

One more thing to check (I'm also trying to find answers in my spare time) is how to query the entire tree, if the tree contains both Jobs and Folders together. I'm not sure that "Folder" and "Job" are the same in Jenkins and both are returned in the tree.
