title: API for automating Azure DevOps Pipelines?
body: <p>I want to automate the queue-ing of Azure Pipelines with an API call, get information on the pipeline/build/job status,</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Azure Pipelines docs only mention "API" for the "Invoke HTTP Rest API" task: <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/utility/http-rest-api?view=vsts" rel="noreferrer">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/utility/http-rest-api?view=vsts</a> That might come in handy, but is not what I am looking for.</p></li>
  <li><p>There is a "Azure DevOps Services REST API":
  <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/?view=azure-devops-rest-5.1" rel="noreferrer">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/?view=azure-devops-rest-5.1</a>
  But I couldn't find any mention of "Pipeline" there, so this doesn't seem to be the right thing as well.</p>
  
  <p>The StackOverflow tag <code>azure-devops-rest-api</code> also only mentions VSTS and TFS:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Visual Studio Team Services REST APIs is a set of APIs allowing management of a Visual Studio Team Services accounts as well as TFS 2015 and 2017 servers.</p>
  </blockquote></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Besides these two results, I only find other versions or translations of various copies of these - and a lot of unrelated documents that are about Azure in general.</p>
  
  <p>Am I just using the wrong words to search?</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>Is there an actual API for Azure DevOps Pipelines?<br>
  Does it have a usable API Explorer?<br>
  Does it have proper clients for languages like JavaScript, Ruby or PHP?</p>
