[SOLVED] Downloading Specific Artifacts with Different Job IDs in GitLab

Issue

I am utilizing the artifact download feature in GitLab by using the following command:

curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN:${TOKEN}" -o MANO_ISO.ISO "https://domain.xx/api/v4/projects/50/jobs/artifacts/dev/raw/build/image.iso?job=job_build"

This command successfully downloads the artifact from the specified job, but I am now interested in understanding how to download a specific artifact from the same job name but with a different job ID.

I tried to add in link jobs id like this:

curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN:${TOKEN}" -o MANO_ISO.ISO "https://domain.xx/api/v4/projects/50/jobs/$jobs_id/artifacts/dev/raw/build/image.iso?job=job_build""

but it's not working.

Solution

Your first API downloads the latest(successful) job artifiact with the given job name, instead of a specific job(with a job id)

Coming to you question

To download an artifact with a specific job ID you should only pass in the project id and job id(not the job name)

In your case the curl should look something like this

curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN:${TOKEN}" -o MANO_ISO.ISO "https://domain.xx/api/v4/projects/50/jobs/$jobs_id/artifacts/dev/raw/build/image.iso"
