Get the job's artifacts zipped archive of a project. ```plaintext GET /projects/:id/jobs/:job_id/artifacts ``` | Attribute | Type | Required | Description | |-------------|----------------|----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `id` | integer/string | yes | ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user. | | `job_id` | integer | yes | ID of a job. | | `job_token` **(PREMIUM)** | string | no | To be used with [triggers](../ci/jobs/ci_job_token.md#download-an-artifact-from-a-different-pipeline) for multi-project pipelines. It should be invoked only inside `.gitlab-ci.yml`. Its value is always `$CI_JOB_TOKEN`. | Example request using the `PRIVATE-TOKEN` header: ```shell curl --output artifacts.zip --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: " "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/jobs/42/artifacts" ``` To use this in a [`script` definition](../ci/yaml/index.md#script) 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 (`:`): ```yaml 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.

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](#get-job-artifacts), but by defining the job's name instead of its ID. NOTE: If a pipeline is [parent of other child pipelines](../ci/pipelines/parent_child_pipelines.md), 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. ```plaintext GET /projects/:id/jobs/artifacts/:ref_name/download?job=name ``` Parameters | Attribute | Type | Required | Description | |-------------|----------------|----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `id` | integer/string | yes | ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user. | | `ref_name` | string | yes | Branch or tag name in repository.

If the artifacts were deleted successfully, a response with status `204 No Content` is returned. ## Delete project artifacts > [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/223793) in GitLab 14.7 [with a flag](../administration/feature_flags.md) named `bulk_expire_project_artifacts`. Enabled by default on GitLab self-managed. Enabled on GitLab.com. FLAG: On self-managed GitLab, by default this feature is available. To hide the feature, ask an administrator to [disable the `bulk_expire_project_artifacts` flag](../administration/feature_flags.md). On GitLab.com, this feature is available. [Expire artifacts of a project that can be deleted](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/223793) but that don't have an expiry time. ```plaintext DELETE /projects/:id/artifacts ``` | Attribute | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|----------------|----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `id` | integer/string | yes | ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) | Example request: ```shell curl --request DELETE --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: " "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/artifacts" ``` NOTE: At least Maintainer role is required to delete artifacts.
