Uploading builds from your Pipelines in Azure DevOps to Buildstash is easy.<h2>Create your application API token</h2><ol class="steps-list"><li>Create API token In your application settings, navigate to the “Connections” tab, and select “New Token”.<img src="https://uploads.productlane.com/afdce0f579b7c876c74a5fd3cc04ada6.png">Call the token anything you like - ideally something that helps you remember where it’s being used (like "Azure DevOps").</li><li>Safely store for use Your new API token will be shown.<img src="https://uploads.productlane.com/e556971579da43ff15f9f8f8b3d166eb.png">Note this is the only time the token will be shown, so be careful to record it securely (like in a password manager).</li></ol><h2>Install Buildstash extension to your organization</h2><ol class="steps-list"><li>Find Buildstash extension in marketplace<img src="https://uploads.productlane.com/89840168d61e245fc13407f2c4c368d8.png"> Go to the <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Buildstash.buildstash-tasks" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="cursor-pointer box-border font-semibold border-b hover:border-b-[2px] transition-all duration-75 " style="text-decoration: none; color: inherit; border-color: var(--portal-accent-color);">Buildstash extension in the Visual Studio Marketplace for Azure Pipelines</a>.Select "Get it free" to install.</li><li>Install on your organization<img src="https://uploads.productlane.com/f2f163a9e693b36d1ca51acd49a40fdf.png">Select the organization you'd like to install the extension on from the dropdown.

To match the sample code above, call the API key BUILDSTASH_API_KEY, paste in your previously generated key, and ensure you select "Keep this value secret".Note, the API key is application-specific, i.e. matched to one application in Buildstash. So you'll want to generate a unique API key for each pipeline and application.</li><li>Tweak timeout value if needed By default Azure DevOps will timeout jobs after 60 minutes.This is probably fine, but if you are uploading a particularly massive build, or have a slow connection, you may wish to tweak this.This is done on the job as below:<pre class="relative language-yaml"><code class="language-yaml relative">jobs:<text>
