adminwith a Bamboo username that has the permission to trigger a buildpasswordwith the respective user's passwordhttp://bamboo-host:8085with Bamboo's Base URLPLAN-KEYwith the Bamboo plan key for which a build is to be triggered

http://admin:password@bamboo-host:8085/rest/api/latest/queue/PLAN-KEY?os_authType=basicusername and password are inserted in between the Base URL (after the double slashes and before the hostname) using the format
