Documented steps

  1. GET https://JENKINS_URL/job/<job-name>/<build-number>/api/json?tree=artifacts[fileName,relativePath] - lists the build's artifacts; relativePath is the path from the artifacts root and fileName is just the file-name portion.
  2. Example: curl -u user:apiToken "https://JENKINS_URL/job/JOBNAME/BUILD_NUMBER/api/json?tree=artifacts[fileName,relativePath]"
  3. GET https://JENKINS_URL/job/<job-name>/<build-number>/artifact/<relativePath> to download one specific file - Jenkins' request-routing docs map /job/foo/1/artifact to the build's artifact-serving method, with <relativePath> being exactly the value from step 1.
  4. Example: curl -u user:apiToken -O "https://JENKINS_URL/job/JOBNAME/BUILD_NUMBER/artifact/<relativePath>"
