This POST service will perform the same action found on the Build Request Form. It will initiate a request to build the project with the given Id. The service will return workflow request. Workflow request id from return data can be used with Workflow Request API to determine when the execution is complete.
This page includes examples for Full and Partial deploy project builds.
