I'm having a Jenkins pipeline consist of 3 stages. For promoting to next stage, it need someone to approve. The above pipeline consist of mulitple builds on progress. If someone want to promote 8 builds to Stage3, They need to open all 8 builds and need to click 'approve'. To avoid this repeated manual click, we thought to automate this by Jenkins API. By sending build number to shell script, the script have to promote the above 8 builds by API. Can I achieve this?

  Hi Jothi,

  Using an example pipeline with a human input step:
  https://github.com/rkivisto/pipeline-deployment-demo

  If I have this setup as a multibranch Pipeline on my instance, and build number 2 of the master branch is waiting for human input, I can approve this using a script:

  ./approveInput.sh https://jenkinsURL rkivisto myAPIToken pipeline-deployment-demo/job/master 2 Deploy

  Here is the script approveInput.sh:

  ```
  #!/bin/bash
  JENKINS_URL=$1
  USER=$2
  API_TOKEN=$3
  JOB_NAME=$4
  BUILD_ID=$5
  INPUT_ID=$6

  SUBMIT_CAPTION=Proceed
  JENKINS_CRUMB=$(wget -q --auth-no-challenge --user ${USER} --password ${API_TOKEN} --output-document - "${JENKINS_URL}/crumbIssuer/api/xml?xpath=concat(//crumbRequestField,\":\",//crumb)")
  curl -X POST --user ${USER}:${API_TOKEN} -H "${JENKINS_CRUMB}" -d proceed="${SUBMIT_CAPTION}" -d json="{}" "${JENKINS_URL}/job/${JOB_NAME}/${BUILD_ID}/input/${INPUT_ID}/submit"
  ```

  The INPUT_ID comes from your pipeline, in this case it has "id: 'Deploy'" as per https://github.com/rkivisto/pipeline-deployment-demo/blob/125969500cfdfa60e647f8bf9863a7bcb5e8164b/Jenkinsfile#L28
