Jenkins CLI (probably not an option). One should be able to achieve the same with the CLI as with Jenkins API (creating jobs etc) but as far as I understand Jenkins CLI is not a good alternative for me since jobs created with will only appear in Jenkins after restarting or a "Reload Configuration from Disk", and that would cancel any other running jobs.

API token. Can't find out how to get the user token and then pass it as a parameter to the script, but that may be a solution..
