In this blog post, I explain why you may want to use curl command in your Jenkinsfile, how to catch curl response and store it in a variable, as well as how to read HTTP response status code and extract some data from the JSON document. Enjoy!

The declarative Jenkins Pipeline allows us to define timeout either at the pipeline level or the specific stage. This feature prevents Jenkins’s job from getting stuck. However, in some cases, we want to accept that one stage may timeout, but we want to keep the remaining stages running.
