Job Artifacts API (FREE)

Get job artifacts

The use of CI_JOB_TOKEN in the artifacts download API was introduced in GitLab Premium 9.5.

Get the job's artifacts zipped archive of a project.

GET /projects/:id/jobs/:job_id/artifacts

Example request using the PRIVATE-TOKEN header:

curl --output artifacts.zip --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/jobs/42/artifacts"

To use this in a script definition inside .gitlab-ci.yml (PREMIUM), you can use either:

• The JOB-TOKEN header with the GitLab-provided CI_JOB_TOKEN variable. For example, the following job downloads the artifacts of the job with ID 42. The command is wrapped in single quotes because it contains a colon (:):

  artifact_download:
    stage: test
    script:
      - 'curl --location --output artifacts.zip --header "JOB-TOKEN: $CI_JOB_TOKEN" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/jobs/42/artifacts"'

• Or the job_token attribute with the GitLab-provided CI_JOB_TOKEN variable. For example, the following job downloads the artifacts of the job with ID 42:

  artifact_download:
    stage: test
    script:
      - 'curl --location --output artifacts.zip "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/jobs/42/artifacts?job_token=$CI_JOB_TOKEN"'

Possible response status codes:

Download the artifacts archive

The use of CI_JOB_TOKEN in the artifacts download API was introduced in GitLab Premium 9.5.

Download the artifacts zipped archive from the latest successful pipeline for the given reference name and job, provided the job finished successfully. This is the same as getting the job's artifacts, but by defining the job's name instead of its ID.

NOTE: If a pipeline is parent of other child pipelines, artifacts are searched in hierarchical order from parent to child. For example, if both parent and child pipelines have a job with the same name, the artifact from the parent pipeline is returned.

GET /projects/:id/jobs/artifacts/:ref_name/download?job=name

Parameters

Example request using the PRIVATE-TOKEN header:

curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/jobs/artifacts/main/download?job=test"

To use this in a script definition inside .gitlab-ci.yml (PREMIUM), you can use either:

• The JOB-TOKEN header with the GitLab-provided CI_JOB_TOKEN variable. For example, the following job downloads the artifacts of the test job of the main branch. The command is wrapped in single quotes because it contains a colon (:):

  artifact_download:
    stage: test
    script:
      - 'curl --location --output artifacts.zip --header "JOB-TOKEN: $CI_JOB_TOKEN" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/$CI_PROJECT_ID/jobs/artifacts/main/download?job=test"'

• Or the job_token attribute with the GitLab-provided CI_JOB_TOKEN variable. For example, the following job downloads the artifacts of the test job of the main branch:

  artifact_download:
    stage: test
    script:
      - 'curl --location --output artifacts.zip "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/$CI_PROJECT_ID/jobs/artifacts/main/download?job=test&job_token=$CI_JOB_TOKEN"'

Possible response status codes:

Download a single artifact file by job ID

• Introduced in GitLab 10.0.
• The use of CI_JOB_TOKEN in the artifacts download API was introduced in GitLab Premium 13.10.

Download a single artifact file from a job with a specified ID from inside the job's artifacts zipped archive. The file is extracted from the archive and streamed to the client.

GET /projects/:id/jobs/:job_id/artifacts/*artifact_path

Parameters

Example request:

curl --location --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/jobs/5/artifacts/some/release/file.pdf"

Possible response status codes:

Download a single artifact file from specific tag or branch

• Introduced in GitLab 11.5.
• The use of CI_JOB_TOKEN in the artifacts download API was introduced in GitLab Premium 13.10.

Download a single artifact file for a specific job of the latest successful pipeline for the given reference name from inside the job's artifacts archive. The file is extracted from the archive and streamed to the client.

In GitLab 13.5 and later, artifacts for parent and child pipelines are searched in hierarchical order from parent to child. For example, if both parent and child pipelines have a job with the same name, the artifact from the parent pipeline is returned.

GET /projects/:id/jobs/artifacts/:ref_name/raw/*artifact_path?job=name

Parameters:

Example request:

curl --location --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/jobs/artifacts/main/raw/some/release/file.pdf?job=pdf"
