# Job Artifacts API **(FREE)**
## Get job artifacts
> The use of `CI_JOB_TOKEN` in the artifacts download API was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/2346) in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 9.5.
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: <your_access_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: $CI_JOB_TOKEN" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/jobs/42/artifacts"'
```
- Or the `job_token` attribute with the GitLab-provided `CI_JOB_TOKEN` variable.
For example, the following job downloads the artifacts of the job with ID `42`:
```yaml
artifact_download:
stage: test
script:
- 'curl --location --output artifacts.zip "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/jobs/42/artifacts?job_token=$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](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/2346) in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 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](#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. 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](../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 --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](../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 `test` job
of the `main` branch. 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: $CI_JOB_TOKEN" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/$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:
```yaml
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:
| Status | Description |
|-----------|---------------------------------|
| 200 | Serves the artifacts file. |
| 404 | Build not found or no artifacts.|
