Artifacts

An artifact is a durable, indexed output copied from a sandbox workspace to object storage. Export is always explicit — nothing is saved automatically — and artifacts survive after the sandbox is destroyed.

The Artifact object

Create an artifact

POST /v1/sandboxes/{sandboxId}/artifacts — requires scopes artifact:create and file:read. Accepts an Idempotency-Key header.

Copies a file from the live sandbox workspace into object storage. The sandbox must still be alive — export anything you need before killing it.

curl -X POST https://api.crownest.dev/v1/sandboxes/sbx_abc123/artifacts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CROWNEST_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: 4c8a1d7e-export-01" \
  -d '{ "path": "/workspace/model.bin", "name": "model" }'

Returns 201 with the artifact:

{
  "artifact": {
    "id": "art_abc123",
    "orgId": "org_abc123",
    "projectId": "prj_abc123",
    "sandboxId": "sbx_abc123",
    "name": "model",
    "sourcePath": "/workspace/model.bin",
    "objectKey": "org_abc123/art_abc123",
    "sizeBytes": 5242880,
    "contentType": "application/octet-stream",
    "createdAt": "2026-06-11T13:00:00.000Z"
  }
}

Errors: invalid_request, forbidden, not_found, file_not_found, path_outside_workspace, sandbox_destroyed.

[!TIP] You can also export artifacts automatically when a command finishes by passing collect to the run endpoint. See Commands.

List artifacts

GET /v1/sandboxes/{sandboxId}/artifacts — requires scope artifact:read.

Returns a paginated list of the sandbox's artifacts, newest first. Standard limit and cursor parameters apply.

curl https://api.crownest.dev/v1/sandboxes/sbx_abc123/artifacts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CROWNEST_API_KEY"

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "art_abc123",
      "name": "model",
      "sizeBytes": 5242880,
      "createdAt": "2026-06-11T13:00:00.000Z"
    }
  ],
  "hasMore": false
}

Get an artifact

GET /v1/artifacts/{artifactId} — requires scope artifact:read.

Returns one artifact by ID. This works after the source sandbox is destroyed.

curl https://api.crownest.dev/v1/artifacts/art_abc123 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CROWNEST_API_KEY"

Returns 200 with { "artifact": { ... } }. Errors: forbidden, not_found.

Get a download URL

POST /v1/artifacts/{artifactId}/download-url — requires scope artifact:read.

Returns instructions for downloading the artifact's content.

curl -X POST https://api.crownest.dev/v1/artifacts/art_abc123/download-url \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CROWNEST_API_KEY"

{
  "url": "https://api.crownest.dev/v1/...",
  "method": "GET",
  "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer cn_live_..." },
  "authMode": "api_key"
}

With authMode of api_key, send the returned headers (your API key) on the GET request to the URL.

Delete an artifact

DELETE /v1/artifacts/{artifactId} — requires scope artifact:delete.

Deletes the artifact's content and marks the record deleted. The operation is idempotent by state — deleting an already-deleted artifact returns the deleted record.

curl -X DELETE https://api.crownest.dev/v1/artifacts/art_abc123 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CROWNEST_API_KEY"

Returns 200 with { "artifact": { ... } } including deletedAt. Errors: forbidden, not_found.
