List what plugins are in use in my scripted Jenkins Pipeline

Question

I am trying to determine what plugins, if any, are currently being used in a number of scripted Jenkins Pipelines, is there a programmatic way to determine this information, or am i going to need to go through every pipeline to look for calls to plugins?

I found this article, but it states that this does not cover pipelines. https://cruftex.net/2015/11/30/Jenkins-Analyze-Your-Plugin-Usage.html

This article also points to https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-31582 which is stated as resolved, but I don't see API documentation on how to get this information still.

The version of Jenkins I'm using is 2.46.1

This article also points to https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-31582 which is stated as resolved, but I don't see API documentation on how to get this information still.

This was added to Workflow-API plugin, meaning if you would have a job, with name lets say test, you can get some more result by visiting the following address: http://your_jenins/job/test/12/api/json?pretty=true. Where 12 should be the job number you are interested with. This plugin is poorly documented though.

The part you are interested in was added to actions. For example, in my case:

_class  "org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.job.WorkflowRun"
actions 
0   
_class  "hudson.model.CauseAction"
causes  
0   {…}
1   {}
2   {}
3   {}
4   {}
5   
_class  "org.jenkinsci.plugins.pipeline.modeldefinition.actions.RestartDeclarativePipelineAction"
6   {}
7   
_class  "org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.job.views.FlowGraphAction"
8   {}
9   {}
10  {}
