Documented steps
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.
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.
Always read relativePath from the build's own api/json artifacts[] list rather than guessing filenames - it already encodes subdirectory structure under the artifacts root.
The download-everything-as-zip URL (artifact/*zip*/archive.zip) that the Jenkins UI uses is not confirmed in current official docs - verify it against your instance before automation relies on it, or download artifacts individually.
artifact/<relativePath> must match relativePath exactly, including case and subdirectories.
Secured instances need Basic auth (username + API token) on the first request or they return 403 immediately.
