The example below demonstrates how to invoke the Run Archive Policy REST API with the following assumptions:

  • You are using cURL from the Unix command line, and are presently working from the home (~) directory of the admin user myUser

  • You have the Live Artifactory instance running on your local system on port 8082

  • You wish to run an archive policy called myPolicy

  • You have configured an admin user named myUser, with the password myP455w0rd!

  • Your API Key is ABcdEF

To execute a call using basic authentication, you would use the following command:

curl -u myUser:myP455w0rd! -X POST http://SERVER_HOSTNAME:8082/artifactory/api/retention/archive/policies/mPolicy/trigger

To execute a call using your API Key for basic authentication, you would use the following command:

curl -u myUser:ABcdEF -X POST http://SERVER_HOSTNAME:8082/artifactory/api/retention/archive/policies/mPolicy/trigger

To execute a call using your API Key in a header, you would use the following command:

curl -H "X-JFrog-Art-Api:ABcdEF" -X POST http://SERVER_HOSTNAME:8082/artifactory/api/retention/archive/policies/mPolicy/trigger

To execute a call using an access token for basic authentication, you would use the following command:

curl -u myUser:<Token> -X POST http://SERVER_HOSTNAME:8082/artifactory/api/retention/archive/policies/mPolicy/trigger

To execute a call access token in a header, you would use the following command:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <Token>" -X POST http://SERVER_HOSTNAME:8082/artifactory/api/retention/archive/policies/mPolicy/trigger
