Documented steps

  1. GET https://circleci.com/api/v2/project/{project-slug}/{job-number}/tests with header 'Circle-Token: $CIRCLE_TOKEN'.
  2. project-slug is {vcs-type}/{org-name}/{project-name}; job-number is the numeric build number, matching the artifacts endpoint's convention (not the job id UUID).
  3. This endpoint only returns data for jobs whose configuration ran a store_test_results step; jobs without it return an empty result set.
  4. The response includes test metadata fields such as run time, result status, test name, and classname. If next_page_token is non-null, repeat the request with the page-token query parameter to fetch subsequent pages.
  5. Reference: https://support.circleci.com/hc/en-us/articles/360057708991-How-to-Get-Information-About-Flaky-and-Slowest-Tests-via-the-Insights-API
