REST API Get list of build numbers

Hello AShutov, 

What I believe that Denis is getting at is that you need to process the results of the REST query to get what you want. With out knowing how you would like process the data (programming language, operating system, other applications where the result is to go, etc.), it is hard to give you a specific example.

For instance, since I work in a MS Windows / .NET shop I would write a C# console application using the RestSharp and Newtonsoft.Json libraries to request your query and then parse the JSON result into the data structure with a for each loop to emit the build numbers on each line.  If I was writing a Unix script I would use curl or wget for the request and pipe the output though sed or awk to get the second result. I am willing to bet that you would like nether technology. Here is a code snipped from my experiment rig with .Net 

var client = new RestClient
{
   BaseUrl = new Uri(server),
   Authenticator = new HttpBasicAuthenticator(user, password)
};
response =client.Execute(new RestRequest( $"{BaseApiString}/builds/?locator=buildType::<my_buildType>,count:10&fields=build(number,id)"));
var json = JToken.Parse(response.Content);
var buildNumbers = json["build"].Select(build => build["number"].ToString());
Logger.Debug(string.Join("\n",buildNumbers));

Hope this helps.
