Answer 1

Short answer: No.

Easiest way to programmatically access any attribute exposed via the JSON API is to take the JSON from one of Jenkins supported JSON APIs (in your case: https://localhost/job//lastSuccessfulBuild/api/json)

1. Copy the resultant JSON into http://json2csharp.com
2. Generate the corresponding C# code. Don't forget to create a meaningful name for top level class.
3. Call RestAPI programmatically from C# using RestSharp.
4. Deserialise the json to the C# class you defined in 2 above.

Wammo, you have access to the entire object tree and all its values.

I used this approach to write an MVC5 ASP.NET site I called "BuildDashboard" to provide all the information a development team could want and answered every question they had.
