Travis CI - Enabling repository build via API

Question

I can't find how to enable a repository to build in Travis CI through the API in the docs. It seems flicking the switch is a manual step, is that correct?

Specifically can we flick the switch shown in the image below programmatically?

Answer 1

The end-point for this is kind of misleading and also it takes more than one step to achieve this:

1. Force a synchronization just to make sure the repo will be there

   • Use users/sync end-point

2. Obtain the repository ID (yes, you must have it)

   • Use repos/repo.slug end-point

3. Flick the switch

   • Use hooks/repo.id end-point

If you are working with Python you can use TravisPy to achieve this.

from travispy import TravisPy

travis = TravisPy.github_auth('github token')
repo = travis.repo('menegazzo/travispy')
repo.enable() # Switch is now on
repo.disable() # Switch is now off
