All Implemented Interfaces:

ExtensionPoint, Describable<JsonSource>, Serializable

public class RemoteSource
extends JsonSource

A JsonSource implementation that retrieves JSON content from a remote HTTP(S) endpoint.

Supports Jenkins proxy configuration automatically via ProxyConfiguration.

Authentication is optional: - If no credentials are provided, a plain HTTP(S) request is sent. - If a credentials ID is provided, the plugin supports: - StandardUsernamePasswordCredentials: Sent as HTTP Basic Auth. - StringCredentials: Sent as Bearer token in the Authorization header.

The configured URL must return a valid JSON response body. This source type is ideal for external services that expose dynamic data for parameter injection.
