How to get the status of a travis-ci request - travis-ci

Question

I want to trigger a travis run on the master branch of a repository. That works alright following the instructions in the travis docs, but then I don't know how to get the status of the execution. The request returns some IDs, but none seem to be the request id.
$ body='{
"request": {
"branch":"master"
}}'
$ curl -s -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Travis-API-Version: 3" -H "Authorization: token $TOKEN" -d "$body" https://api.travis-ci.org/repo/snapcore%2Fsnapcraft/requests
{
"#type": "pending",
"remaining_requests": 9,
"repository": {
"#type": "repository",
"#href": "/repo/6402925",
"#representation": "minimal",
"id": 6402925,
"name": "snapcraft",
"slug": "snapcore/snapcraft"
},
"request": {
"repository": {
"id": 45199136,
"owner_name": "snapcore",
"name": "snapcraft"
},
"user": {
"id": 38186
},
"message": null,
"branch": "master",
"config": {
}
},
"resource_type": "request"
}
I can get all the requests using this endpoint: https://docs.travis-ci.com/api?http#requests
But then I would have to find my request, and again I'm not sure how to identify it.

The response should include a request.id as well:
{
"#type": "pending",
"remaining_requests": 49,
"repository": {
"#type": "repository",
"#href": "/repo/7181875",
"#representation": "minimal",
"id": 7181875,
"name": "repo_name",
"slug": "repo_user/repo_name"
},
"request": {
"repository": {
"id": 160982756,
"owner_name": "repo_owner",
"name": "repo_name"
},
"user": {
"id": 919859
},
"id": 160105240, # <-- this is the request ID that can be used in /request/#id
"message": null,
"branch": "master",
"config": {
}
},
"resource_type": "request"
}
This seems to be missing from what you posted. Either this was added in the meantime, or it got lost for you somehow.
