How to get build ID effectively from remotely triggered builds.

[Yoo JinSun]

Hello Jenkins Community!

Is there a way to reliably get the build number from a remotely triggered build? 

Here's the process I use to remotely trigger a build

1) POST a http request to trigger a build

 POST   https://{hostname}/job/{job_name}/build

2) From the response's Location header, get the queue number of the build

Location: https://{hostname}/queue/item/673730/

3) Repeatedly send GET request to the queue 

GET https://{hostname}/queue/item/673730/api/json?pretty=true

4) Get the build number

Response body:

{

 ...

 "id": 67370,

  "executable": {

    "number": 18073,

    "url": "https://{hostname}/job/{job_name}/18073/"

  }

}

5) Use the build number to get the current status, console output, etc. 

GET https://{hostname}/job/{job_name}/18073/consoleLogFull/api/json?pretty=true

Question is, is there a way for me to go from 1) to 3)? Or, another way to remotely build a Jenkins Job to 4) directly?

I'm seeing inefficiencies in having to continuously send a GET request at 2). Also, if the queue number becomes invalid (which happens a short while after build runs), then there's no way to get the build number. 

I CANNOT use the 'latest build' option, since multiple job trigger may occur at once. 

At least from the UI it seems that a job is given a build number as soon as it is triggered(through the UI)

Many suggestions appreciated, thx.
