delete old gitlab artifacts

clear_gitlab_artifacts.rb

require 'httparty'

token = 'YOUR_TOKEN'
project_id = 'PROJECT_ID'

query = { per_page: 100 }
headers = { "PRIVATE-TOKEN" => token }
server = "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/#{project_id}/jobs" 
response = HTTParty.get(server, query: query, headers: headers)

total_pages = response.to_hash['x-total-pages'].first.to_i

puts "total pages: #{total_pages}"

job_ids = []

# skipping page 1
(2..total_pages).each do |i|
  puts "Processing Page: #{i}/#{total_pages}"
  jobs = HTTParty.get(server, query: query.merge(page: i), headers: headers)
  jobs.each do |job|
    if job['artifacts_file'] && job['artifacts_file']['filename']
      puts "artifact found for job #{job['id']}"
      job_ids << job['id']
    end
  end
end

puts "#{job_ids.count} Jobs found. Commencing removal of Artifacts.."
# Loop through each Job erasing the Artifact(s)
job_ids.each do |job_id|
  response = HTTParty.post("#{server}/#{job_id}/erase", query: {}, headers: headers)
  puts "Processing Job ID: #{job_id} - Status: #{response['status']}"
end

puts "Finished!"

Thanks for this script!

If you only need to delete artifacts and not the entire job data, you can change line 32 request by this one:

response = HTTParty.delete("#{server}/#{job_id}/artifacts", query: {}, headers: headers)

I just changed POST action by a DELETE one and /erase by /artifacts, according to GitLab API Documentation.
