TeamCity API method to get Slack notification info

Im trying to list my TeamCity builds in my own site with the TeamCity API to create dashboard. One feature I need is to notify the right person. To do so I set in the build setting the right Slack channel as the notification configuration. My question is, is there a way to get this info from the TeamCity API? And if not, is there any way to get this info from other place?

Thanks!

UPD: This is how the Slack notifier is configured:

On this picture we choose the 'Slack' option in menu.

Here in bottom option we set the slack channel for this build

Solution

  • You get get the information about Build features via TeamCity REST API and the features will in turn contain information about configured Slack notifiers.

    Example of a response for a GET request to https://<serverUrl>/app/rest/buildTypes/id:MY_BUILD_CONFIGURATION_ID:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<buildType id="MY_BUILD_CONFIGURATION_ID" name="Build configuration name" projectName="project name" projectId="PROJECT_ID" href="/app/rest/buildTypes/id:MY_BUILD_CONFIGURATION_ID" webUrl="https://<serverUrl>/viewType.html?buildTypeId=MY_BUILD_CONFIGURATION_ID">
    ...
    <features count="1">
        <feature id="BUILD_EXT_63" type="notifications">
            <properties count="11">
                <property name="branchFilter" value="+:&lt;default&gt;&#xA;+:br_name"/>
                <property name="buildFinishedFailure" value="true"/>
                <property name="buildFinishedSuccess" value="true"/>
                <property name="firstSuccessAfterFailure" value="true"/>
                <property name="notifier" value="jbSlackNotifier"/>
                <property name="plugin:notificator:jbSlackNotifier:addBranch" value="true"/>
                <property name="plugin:notificator:jbSlackNotifier:addBuildStatus" value="true"/>
                <property name="plugin:notificator:jbSlackNotifier:channel" value="#slack-channel-name"/>
                <property name="plugin:notificator:jbSlackNotifier:connection" value="PROJECT_EXT_10"/>
                <property name="plugin:notificator:jbSlackNotifier:maximumNumberOfChanges" value="10"/>
                <property name="plugin:notificator:jbSlackNotifier:messageFormat" value="verbose"/>
            </properties>
        </feature>
    </features>
    ...
</buildType>

    The property you are interested in is plugin:notificator:jbSlackNotifier:channel
