Azure Devops - use a script to access the number of build validation pipelines in a Pull Request

Question

i want to access the number of build validation pipeline checks in a Pull Request(PR). I was hoping i could use powershell in integrate the azure api i.e. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/git/pull-requests/get-pull-request?view=azure-devops-rest-7.0

This doesn't seem to have this information. Does anyone know if this can be achieved?

i want to access the number of build validation pipeline checks in a Pull Request(PR).

To meet your requirement, you can use the Rest API: Evaluations - List to get the number of the builds in a Pull Request.

Here is an example:

Rest API URL:

GET https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/policy/evaluations?artifactId={artifactId}&api-version=7.1-preview.1

ArtifactID sample:

vstfs:///CodeReview/CodeReviewId/{projectId}/{pullRequestId}

PowerShell sample:

$token = "PAT"

$url=" https://dev.azure.com/ORGNAME/PROJECTNAME/_apis/policy/evaluations?artifactId=vstfs:///CodeReview/CodeReviewId/projectid/pullrequestid&api-version=7.1-preview.1"

$token = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(":$($token)"))

$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method Get  -Headers @{Authorization = "Basic $token"}   -ContentType 'application/json'

$number = 0

Foreach( $configurationlist in $response.value )
{
   $buildid =  $configurationlist.configuration.settings.buildDefinitionId
   $type = $configurationlist.configuration.type.displayName

   if($type -eq "Build")

    {
       echo $buildid
       $number= $number+ 1
    }   
 
   

}


echo "Pull Request Build Number: $number"

Result:
