Hello, I don’t seem to be able to download a build artifact using wget - using chrome works fine.

output is as follows:

wget -O -J -L 'https://circleci.com/api/v1/project/industrial-tech-group/helix-wifi/latest/artifacts/0/$CIRCLE_ARTIFACTS/bin/helix-wifi.tar.gz?circle-token=REDACTED'

I have also run into this.

Please return the 302 with the same circle-token on it as the user sent in to fix this. Here is a dump from curl to demonstrate the current behavior.

Same here: I tried with curl using both --location-trusted -u $TOKEN: and -L $URL\?circle-token\=$TOKEN

Also tried adding cookie tracking with -c, still does not help. The last redirect looks like:

< HTTP/1.1 302 Found
< Location: https://circleci.com/auth/artifacts/fetch-nonce?redirect-to=https%3A%2F%2F3-78872695-gh.circle-artifacts.com%2F0%2Ftmp%2Fcircle-artifacts.lCfGoVv%2FmyFile.txt&scope=gh%2FMyOrg%2FmyProject%2F3

which, when followed (sending the cookie) results in the HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request.

To download individual artifacts via the API you need to get the artifact URL. This is documented here: https://circleci.com/docs/api/v1-reference/#build-artifacts

Also note that the value of circle-token should be set to a valid API token that you create from your account page: https://circleci.com/account/api

A shortcut for downloading all artifacts for a build is described here: Download all artifacts for a build on CircleCI
