Introduction to Drone.io
Drone.io is a powerful CI/CD (Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery) platform that enables developers to automate their code builds, tests, and deployments. It is designed to be simple, scalable, and container-native, making it a perfect choice for modern application development and delivery workflows.
Drone.io API Examples
Drone.io offers a robust set of APIs to facilitate various operations. Let’s explore some of the most useful APIs with code snippets:
1. Authentication API
Authenticate your application with Drone.io using a personal access token or OAuth token.
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer <your_token>" \
https://cloud.drone.io/api/user
2. List Repositories
Fetch a list of repositories that the authenticated user has access to.
curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer <your_token>" \
https://cloud.drone.io/api/repos
3. Trigger Build
Trigger a new build for a specific repository.
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer <your_token>" \
https://cloud.drone.io/api/repos/<owner>/<repo>/builds
4. Get Build Status
Retrieve the status of a specific build.
curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer <your_token>" \
https://cloud.drone.io/api/repos/<owner>/<repo>/builds/<build_number>
5. Cancel Build
Cancel a running build.
curl -X DELETE -H "Authorization: Bearer <your_token>" \
https://cloud.drone.io/api/repos/<owner>/<repo>/builds/<build_number>
Example Application Using Drone.io APIs
Let’s consider an example where we build a simple application to automate the CI/CD process using the Drone.io APIs. Below is a Python script that triggers a build and checks its status:
import requests
import time
DRONE_URL = "https://cloud.drone.io"
TOKEN = "your_token"
REPO_OWNER = "repo_owner"
REPO_NAME = "repo_name"
headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {TOKEN}"}
# Trigger a build
build_trigger_resp = requests.post(
f"{DRONE_URL}/api/repos/{REPO_OWNER}/{REPO_NAME}/builds", headers=headers
)
build_info = build_trigger_resp.json()
build_number = build_info['number']
print(f"Build triggered with number: {build_number}")
# Check build status
while True:
build_status_resp = requests.get(
f"{DRONE_URL}/api/repos/{REPO_OWNER}/{REPO_NAME}/builds/{build_number}", headers=headers
)
build_status = build_status_resp.json()
print(f"Build status: {build_status['status']}")
if build_status['status'] in ['success', 'failure', 'error', 'killed']:
break
time.sleep(10)
print(f"Build finished with status: {build_status['status']}")
The above script triggers a build for a specified repository and periodically checks the build status until the build completes.
By leveraging the powerful APIs provided by Drone.io, you can easily automate and integrate CI/CD processes in your applications, ensuring a smooth and efficient development workflow.
