Try Build Changes API directly:

 

Use the Builds - Get Build Changes API to retrieve changes from the build pipeline:

GET https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/build/builds/{buildId}/changes?api-version=7.1

To make this work:

  • Use predefined variables like resources.pipeline.{alias}.runID to get the build ID of the referenced pipeline.
  • Then call the above API with that build ID to get the changes.

In YAML:

steps:
- script: echo $(resources.pipeline.myBuildPipeline.runID)

Use that ID in your script or REST call to fetch changes.
