Job Artifacts API

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

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
id	integer/string	yes	ID or URL-encoded path of the project owned by the authenticated user.
job_id	integer	yes	ID of a job.
job_token (PREMIUM)	string	no	To be used with triggers 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:

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. Note that the command is wrapped into single quotes since 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:

Status	Description
200	Serves the artifacts file.
404	Build not found or no artifacts.

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

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
id	integer/string	yes	ID or URL-encoded path of the project owned by the authenticated user.
ref_name	string	yes	Branch or tag name in repository. HEAD or SHA references are not supported.
job	string	yes	The name of the job.
job_token (PREMIUM)	string	no	To be used with triggers 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:

curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/jobs/artifacts/master/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 master branch. Note that the command is wrapped into single quotes since 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/master/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 master branch:

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

Possible response status codes:

Status	Description
200	Serves the artifacts file.
404	Build not found or no artifacts.

Download a single artifact file by job ID

Introduced in GitLab 10.0

Download a single artifact file from a job with a specified ID from within 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

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
id	integer/string	yes	ID or URL-encoded path of the project owned by the authenticated user.
job_id	integer	yes	The unique job identifier.
artifact_path	string	yes	Path to a file inside the artifacts archive.

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:

Status	Description
200	Sends a single artifact file
400	Invalid path provided
404	Build not found or no file/artifacts

Download a single artifact file from specific tag or branch

Introduced in GitLab 11.5.

Download a single artifact file for a specific job of the latest successful pipeline for the given reference name from within 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:

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
id	integer/string	yes	ID or URL-encoded path of the project owned by the authenticated user.
ref_name	string	yes	Branch or tag name in repository. HEAD or SHA references are not supported.
artifact_path	string	yes	Path to a file inside the artifacts archive.
job	string	yes	The name of the job.

Example request:

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

Possible response status codes:

Status	Description
200	Sends a single artifact file
400	Invalid path provided
404	Build not found or no file/artifacts
