# Download Code Artifact Version Content

**GET** `/v1/compliance/apps/code/artifacts/{artifact_id}/versions/{version_id}`

Streams the content of one version of a Claude Code Artifact as the
response body.

Returns 404 for Artifacts that don't exist or belong to another parent
organization. A listed version id can start returning 404 if subsequent
publishes rotated it out of retained history — re-list on 404. Returns
503 while the version's content upload is
still in flight or was abandoned — retry with backoff. Oversized
encoded content aborts mid-stream: headers and initial bytes arrive
but the body terminates early — an aborted chunked transfer is the
only truncation signal for encoded content. `Content-MD5` is emitted
only for identity-stored content; validate against it when present.

## Path parameters

- `artifact_id: string`

  The Artifact ID (tagged ID, e.g., cart_abc123)

- `version_id: string`

  Opaque version identifier from the Artifact's `versions` list

## Headers

- `"anthropic-version": optional string`

  The version of the Claude API you want to use.
