How to POST json parameters from Postman to Jenkins?

Question

I need to call a Jenkins job using its API through Postman. This job requires parameters (HOST, VERBOSITY and PMSP).

Auth works using Jenkins token and header Content-type:application/json is used.

I tried to call the endpoint https://jenkins_server/job/job_name/build/api/json adding the following body to the request but the result is Nothing is submitted, and the job doesn't run.
I tried to call the endpoint https://jenkins_server/job/job_name/buildWithParameters/api/json adding the same body. I get 201 Created (job is running) but no parameters are given to the job.

{
        "parameter": [
            {
                "name": "HOSTS",
                "value": "[linux]\n1.2.3.4"
            },
            {
                "name": "VERBOSITY",
                "value": "vv"
            },
            {
                "name": "SANS_PMSP",
                "value": true
            }
        ]
}

Is my JSON well constructed ? Which endpoint do I need to call ?

are you looking for this --> https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Remote+access+API ?? ex - curl -X POST JENKINS_URL/job/JOB_NAME/build --user USER:TOKEN --data-urlencode json='{"parameter": [{"name":"id", "value":"123"}, {"name":"verbosity", "value":"high"}]}' — Rohit Jindal, Apr 09 '19 at 09:49
I tried the solution with Curl and it works like a charm. But i'd like to **focus on Postman** ! — vmele, Apr 09 '19 at 10:06

If it's Postman that you would like to focus on, you can import the curl command straight into the application.

This creates a new request for you to use and it populates this request, based on the details in the command.

From here, you should be able to add your own URL and point this at the location you need.
