## Get job artifacts

> **Notes**:
>
> - [Introduced][ce-2893] in GitLab 8.5.
> - The use of `CI_JOB_TOKEN` in the artifacts download API was [introduced][ee-2346]
>   in [GitLab Premium][ee] 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](README.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] 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:

```sh
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/README.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 will download the artifacts of the job with ID
  `42`. Note that the command is wrapped into single quotes since 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 will download 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.|

[ce-2893]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/2893

## Download the artifacts archive

> **Notes**:
>
> - [Introduced][ce-5347] in GitLab 8.10.
> - The use of `CI_JOB_TOKEN` in the artifacts download API was [introduced][ee-2346]
>   in [GitLab Premium][ee] 9.5.

Download the artifacts zipped archive from 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.

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

| `id`        | integer/string | yes      | ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.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_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:

```sh
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](../ci/yaml/README.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 will download the artifacts of the `test` job
  of the `master` branch. Note that the command is wrapped into single quotes
  since 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/master/download?job=test"'
  ```

- Or the `job_token` attribute with the GitLab-provided `CI_JOB_TOKEN` variable.
  For example, the following job will download the artifacts of the `test` job
  of the `master` branch:

  ```yaml
  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"'
  ```
