How to run azure devops pipelines using RestAPi?

I tried using API endpoint of azure devops to run my pipeline. But when i checked on azure devops portal, the pipeline didn't started to run. I am sharing my code here.

personal_access_token='PAT',
organization_url='url'
authorization = str(base64.b64encode(bytes(':'+personal_access_token, 'ascii')), 'ascii')
headers={'Accept':'application/json', 'Authorization': 'Basic '+authorization}
credentials=BasicAuthentication('',personal_access_token)
connect=Connection(base_url=organization_url,creds=credentials)

now I am looping the pipeline

response = requests.post(url_of_pipeline,headers=headers)

when i did request.post it should start to run the pipeline on azure devops, but when i checked on azure devops portal. The pipeline was not running. How this can be fixed?

Based on your requirement, you are using python to run the rest api to run the pipeline.

You can also try the following Python sample:

import requests
import json
import base64

pat = 'PAT'
authorization = str(base64.b64encode(bytes(':'+pat, 'ascii')), 'ascii')

print(authorization )

url = "https://dev.azure.com/{ORG}/{PROJECT}/_apis/pipelines/{pipelineid}/runs?api-version=6.1-preview.1"



payload = json.dumps({})
headers = {
  'Authorization': 'Basic '+authorization,
  'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)

Here you have an example how it can be done in powershell:

$AzureDevOpsPAT = "ocd2rrtds7bj6mff6jcxjllmaaXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
$OrganizationName = "DEMOXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
$ProjectName = "SOMEPROJECT"
$buildId = 177

$AzureDevOpsAuthenicationHeader = @{Authorization = 'Basic ' + [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(":$($AzureDevOpsPAT)")) }

$uri = "https://dev.azure.com/$($OrganizationName)/$($ProjectName)/_build?definitionId=$($buildId)" 

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Method post -Headers $AzureDevOpsAuthenicationHeader

However currently you have two endpoints vailable Builds - Queue and Runs - Run Pipeline
