Jenkins Python API Query

[AB]

Hello Everyone !

I am fairly new to Jenkins and off late have started playing with Python API where I am able to run builds remotely. 

I want to know if I can create a new job with choice of options such as "branch to build", "artifacts to backup", "Polling" etc so that I can create jobs/builds based on these parameters when and where needed. There is something in configure job page as "This build is parameterized" and then it offer a "String Parameter" where I can define some variable but I am kind of unsure if this approach is right or not.

Please advise and provide links if this has already been done using any other way.

Regards

AB

Yes, that is what parameters are for. You then access them as ${PARAM} in  your various build steps. These also become environment variables on your build machine.
