success

CircleCI connected Now you can use CircleCI in any Application, Workflow, or Scheduled Job.

Use CircleCI in APIs

Once your CircleCI integration is created, you can start creating steps in Application backend APIs, Workflows, and Scheduled Jobs to call CircleCI API actions. CircleCI actions are REST requests. To learn more about REST requests in Superblocks, see the Building REST requests guide.

Supported actions

List all contexts for an owner.

Create a new context

Get a context

Returns basic information about a context.

Get summary metrics and trends for a project across it's workflows and branches

Get summary metrics and trends for a project at workflow and branch level. Workflow runs going back at most 90 days are included in the aggregation window. Trends are only supported upto last 30 days. Please note that Insights is not a financial reporting tool and should not be used for precise credit reporting. Credit reporting from Insights does not use the same source of truth as the billing information that is found in the Plan Overview page in the CircleCI UI, nor does the underlying data have the same data accuracy guarantees as the billing information in the CircleCI UI. This may lead to discrepancies between credits reported from Insights and the billing information in the Plan Overview page of the CircleCI UI. For precise credit reporting, always use the Plan Overview page in the CircleCI UI.

Job timeseries data

Get timeseries data for all jobs within a workflow.

Get summary metrics with trends for the entire org, and for each project.

Get summary metrics for a project's workflows

Get summary metrics for a project's workflows. Workflow runs going back at most 90 days are included in the aggregation window. Metrics are refreshed daily, and thus may not include executions from the last 24 hours. Please note that Insights is not a financial reporting tool and should not be used for precise credit reporting. Credit reporting from Insights does not use the same source of truth as the billing information that is found in the Plan Overview page in the CircleCI UI, nor does the underlying data have the same data accuracy guarantees as the billing information in the CircleCI UI. This may lead to discrepancies between credits reported from Insights and the billing information in the Plan Overview page of the CircleCI UI. For precise credit reporting, always use the Plan Overview page in the CircleCI UI.

Get recent runs of a workflow

Generic HTTP Request

Every SaaS integration in Superblocks comes with a built in Generic HTTP Request Action. This is a powerful action you can use to call CircleCI API endpoints not in the Superblocks supported actions.

To use this action simply add the method, path, required query parameters, and body for the desired endpoint.

info

Learn more about REST requests in Superblocks in our Building REST requests guide.

Generic HTTP Requests use the authentication set up and base URL you've configured for your integration, making it an easy for your team to extend Superblocks Integrations to meet their needs.
