In our office we use a custom Geckoboard to display information about our current build status from our TeamCity 8 build server.
We display recent check-ins/changes, using the following REST query: http://teamcity.internal.com:8080/httpAuth/app/rest/changes?project:ProjectName&locator=count:10
We also calculate the last time the build was broken with this REST query: http://teamcity.internal.com:8080/httpAuth/app/rest/builds?locator=project:ProjectName
However what we've not just been able to do is link the two.
In other words:
For recent changes to determine if the checkin lead to a broken build
For the last time the build was broken determine who made that checkin
Based on the source code here and documentation here
I believe you want something like the following
http://teamcity.internal.com:8080/httpAuth/app/rest/changes?locator=build:(status:FAILED,project:ProjectName,lookupLimit:1)
This should return the changes associated with the last FAILED build, I haven't tested because I don't use TeamCity.
Also see the following StackOverflow question in order to get changes for a specific build.

I'm using Visual Studio Online API to get all the work items from an specific build. The problem is that the build numbers I have - because I customize them - have a dot inside the value, for example 112321.3, so it seems that it does not reconize that in the query.
My query es the following:
https://xxxx.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/xxxSoft/_apis/build/builds/20161101.2/workitems?api-version=2.0
but it returns page not found eventhough the build exits.
Any clue?

It is based on the buildId to get workitems per build, instead of build number.
So Steps for your requirement:
Based on the build number to get corresponding build
https://{instance}/DefaultCollection/{project}/_apis/build/builds?api-version={version}[&definitions={string}][&queues={string}][&buildNumber={string}][&type={string}][&minFinishTime={DateTime}][&maxFinishTime={DateTime}][&requestedFor={string}][&reasonFilter={string}][&statusFilter={string}][&tagFilters={string}][&propertyFilters={string}][&$top={int}][&continuationToken={string}]
For example:
https://XXX.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/Scrum2015/_apis/build/builds?buildNumber=20161117.17&api-version=2.0
Get workitems per build id.
I have asked a similar question
TFS Build Configuration: get all the Work Items Details for a particular build
And based on the answer of above question I have the below query. I decided to start a new thread for new question rather than confusing people in same thread.
I am using a default XAML template for workflow of TFS build configuration. Now my requirement is that I need all the Work Items since beginning whenever I trigger a build event for any build definition regardless of last successful build.
Let say I have triggered first TFS build and it is succeeded then I triggered 2nd build and that is also succeeded.
Then I have opened the log file of 2nd successful build and goes to Diagnostics Tab of last build. Inside Diagnostics tab there is a section as “Associate the changesets that occurred since the last good build”
Inside this it will display a message like
"No change sets are submitted to build 'ABC…..'"
Whereas I require list of all the work items since beginning.
Please suggest me the changes which need to be done in XAML template so that I can get all the work items since the beginning of source code.
As we know, associate the changesets and work items only occurs since the last good build.
There is a simple workaround to achieve what you want, you can specify a previous changeset to queue a build, then build the latest changeset again, then you'll get the associated changesets and work items again. Refer to this blog: http://chamindac.blogspot.sg/2013/09/tfs-2012-get-release-build-with.html
Otherwise, you need to create a MSBuild custom task that makes a call to TFS for the items. Check the links below:
https://volatilecoding.com/2013/06/11/tfs-build-how-to-customize-work-item-association/
(this solution is for TFS2010/TF2012 build process template, you'll
need to work on TFS 2013 build process template).

Is there some nice way, of sending all changes since last successful build and send me the changes?
I would prefer update my workflow process rather than *.proj file.
Any example would be appreciated.
so far I have found: Programatically find TFS changes since last good build
Its not fully functional but start is history command

We are in a specific requirement regarding FxCop integration with TFS2010. The requirement is as follows.
- Execute the build.in specific intervals (There is already a method)
- Run the FxCop after each build. (This is too simple and known)
- If anything fails,need to create a TFS bug item and assign to the person who checked in the file last time.
We know that 'gated checkin' the the best way. But due to some reasons we cannot adopt that. The challenge we are facing is on the creation of the bugs against the last checked in person of each file.
Does anybody have done this type of solution before? Are there any code available public which does this?
Thanks in advance.
It was completed by coding the whole part. The basic idea is as follows
Take latest and run the exsting build script () which produce pdb as well
At the end of the build script start FxCops using FxCopCmd and get the output to xml file
Parse the xml and find out the xml message nodes which contains failed reviews
Extract the code file path from the above xml node
Map the file path to TFS path (ie c:\code to tfs path starting with $\code)
Find the last checked in person's details
Create and assign a bug to that person.
This was specific to our project where we cannot implement the gated checkin due to the large code base and high frequency code check ins. But had to implement automated reviews.
This can be closed
We have a particular file, say X.zip that is only modified by 1 or 2 people. Hence we don't want the build to trigger on every check-in, as the other files are mostly untouched.
I need to check for a condition prior to building, whether the checked-in item is "X.zip" or not.. if yes, then trigger a build, else don't. We use only CI builds.
Any idea on how to trigger the build only when this particular file is checked-in? Any other approaches would be greatly appreciated as i am a newbie in TFS...

I don't know of any OOTB feature which can do this, what you would need to do is write your own custom MSBuild task which is executed prior to the build running (pre-build action).
The task will then need to use the TFS API to check the current check in for the file you want and if it's not found you'll have to set the task to failed.
This isn't really ideal as it'll indicate to Team Build a build failure, which, depending on whether you're using check in policies, may be unhelpful. It'd also be harder to at-a-glance work out which builds failed because of the task and which failed because of a real problem.
You can change the build to occur less frequently rather than every check in, which will reduce load on your build server.
Otherwise you may want to dig into Cruise Control .NET, it may support better conditional builds.
If you could move X.zip into it's own folder, then you could set up a CI build with a workspace that only looked at the folder containing X.zip.
You would then need to add an explicit call to tf get to download the rest of the code as Team Build only downloads what the workspace is looking at.
But this might be simpler than the custom task approach?
