I have attempted accessing artifacts using the following api

[https://circleci.com/docs/api/v1-reference/#build-artifacts](https://circleci.com/docs/api/v1-reference/#build-artifacts)

When curling a build that absolutely has artifacts it returns an empty ( ) collection. I would like to know if there are any open issues regarding this, or if I am doing it incorrectly.

Thank you

What curl command are you using? (Don’t forget to xxx out your fetch token).
