Is there a way to access specific artifact (tarball) though rest api

[Leonid Barinstein]

I was wondering if there is a way to access specific artifact (tarball) for the latest successful build, though rest api, using wget.

Try:

http://my-ci-server:8080/bamboo/rest/api/latest/result/PROJECT_KEY-PLAN_KEY-latest?expand=artifacts

This will give you access to the artifact list in XML format, including the file name. The prerequisite is that the artifact with tarball is a single file (it can be defined via a wildcard like PROJECT-*.tgz, so you don't need to hardcode it, but it has to resolve to a single file).

Great. Thank you very much for your help.

Hm…
I don't think I am seeing the right thing.
I am getting the same output as if I were to access just

http://my-ci-server:8080/bamboo/rest/api/latest/result/PROJECT_KEY-PLAN_KEY-BULDNUMBER

Do I have anything misconfigured? My build file is a single .tgz file.

If you are asking about getting a tarballed artifact from a Bamboo Server (i.e. an artifact has a couple/lots of files in it and you want to fetch a single tarball with all the artifac files in it) - no, that's not possible.

Przemek,

Thank you for your response.

I was under impression that what I asking for is very trivial and common functionality and Atlassian definitely should work on providing it. TeamCity has it.

What I am looking for is this:

http://my-ci-server:8080/bamboo/browse/PROJECT/latestSuccessful/artifact/SUBPROJECT/Tarball/PROJECT-0.1.BUILDNUMBER.tgz

Tarball is already created and above is the location where the file is. What makes it complicated is to get latest successful build number. That is right before the .tgz. I can go as far as:
http://my-ci-server:8080/bamboo/browse/PROJECT/latestSuccessful/artifact/SUBPROJECT/Tarball/<br< a=""> /> which will display the artifact in the HTML format. Of course I can parse the html, but I am looking for more stable way to handle this.

Right now I am parsing this url to get my latest successful build:
http://my-ci-server:8080/bamboo/rest/api/latest/result/PROJECT?buildstate=Successful&max-results=1
and constructing my url based on the result to look like this:
http://my-ci-server:8080/bamboo/browse/PROJECT-BUILDNUMBER/artifact/SUBPROJECT/Tarball/PROJECT-0.1.BUILDNUMBER.tgz

What I really need is to be able to directly access link like this:
http://my-ci-server:8080/bamboo/browse/PROJECT/latestSuccessful/artifact/SUBPROJECT/Tarball/PROJECT-0.1.LATEST-SUCCESSFUL-BUILDNUMBER.tgz</span<>>

Yes. Bamboo Command Line Interface does this for instance.

[Leonid Barinstein]

Thanks Bob. Unfortunately, I am completely ignorant about Bamboo Command Line Interface. What I am trying to do is to write a bash script that gets the file using wget or curl through url like: /bamboo/browse/CMS-CMSS/latestSuccessful/artifact/XXXXXX/Tarball/

[Bob Swift OSS (Bob Swift Atlassian Apps)]

Longer answer. Yes, it is possible to get a specific artifact from a specific build or from the latest build. The rest apis are documented here: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOODEV/Bamboo+REST+Resources . There are some release specific differences, make sure you get the right level of document. The Bamboo CLI shields you from that and would be easy to call from your script :). But you can roll your own too. If you use the -v option on the getArtifact action it will show you the URL you need. Or just construct the URL from the documentation.

You could also look at the source for hints, but it covers more generic cases, so is a bit more difficult - https://bitbucket.org/bob_swift/bamboo-cli/src/7087bc062a93/src/main/java/org/swift/bamboo/cli/BambooClient.java
