I'd like to store a JSON file as the output of one job, and read that JSON in and parse it for use in a pipeline in a different job. I'm having trouble getting the JSON from the first job into my workspace so I can read it.

This mentions reading in a JSON, but not how to get it into the workspace = Pass Jenkins Pipeline parameters from a Jenkins job?

I see some suggestions that involve adding build steps (URL SCM plugin), but adding build steps doesn't seem available in my pipeline job

You should have a look at archiveArtifacts and copyArtifacts. You would archive the JSON file in one job and then copy it from in the other.

Edit:

In a pipeline you would do something like:

copyArtifacts(projectName: 'sourceproject')

or 

copyArtifacts(projectName: 'downstream', selector: lastSuccessful())

You can look it up here: https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Copy+Artifact+Plugin

so the archiving artifacts portion works fine. I did check out copyArtifacts, but it's a build step that takes in from other jobs and puts it into the current job. The issue is that in a pipeline job I do not have the ability to add a build step from the GUI. Maybe I just need to understand how to do that via code in the jenkinsFile, and I'm trying to find how to do that using copyArtifacts but am struggling.
