Optimization: How to request build status without Intermediate calls

[dellgreen]

Maybe i missed something but when monitoring a jenkins server, is there a way to get the build status by build number and jobid without first having to make an initial request for job instance from the server? so as to reduce the number of requests to the jenkins server?
I appreciate this can probably be done by calling methods directly on the http client, didnt know if there was a higher level functionality already, or whether it would be helpful to have this functionality?

i invoke details.getResult().name() to get build status("SUCCESS","FAILED",.eg)
