Azure Pipelines - Sprint 277 Update

Features

• Call Azure DevOps REST APIs from the Invoke REST API task

Call Azure DevOps REST APIs from the Invoke REST API task

The InvokeRestAPI@1 task now supports the Azure DevOps service connection. This allows you to call Azure DevOps REST APIs directly from a pipeline, without the need to configure a custom generic service connection and manage authentication yourself.

Select the connection type in the connectionType input and reference your Azure DevOps service connection:

- task: InvokeRESTAPI@1
  inputs:
    connectionType: 'connectedServiceNameAzureDevOps'
    serviceConnection: '<your-azure-devops-service-connection>'
    method: 'GET'
    urlSuffix: '<organization>/<project>/_apis/build/builds?api-version=7.1'

The connectionType input accepts the following values:

• connectedServiceName – Generic service connection (default).
• connectedServiceNameAzureDevOps – Azure DevOps service connection.
• connectedServiceNameARM – Azure Resource Manager service connection.
