# dohq-artifactory — A Python interface to Artifactory

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 1.8M/mo

## What it is and what it does

dohq-artifactory is a Python client library for JFrog Artifactory that models artifact repositories as filesystem-like paths, similar to Python's pathlib module. It abstracts HTTP interactions with Artifactory's REST API behind a familiar directory-tree interface, letting you list, download, upload, copy, move, and delete artifacts as if they were local files.

The library supports multiple authentication methods (username/password, API keys, access tokens) and works with both on-premises Artifactory and JFrog's SaaS offering. It depends on requests for HTTP communication, python-dateutil for timestamp handling, and PyJWT for token operations. Common use cases include downloading build artifacts, uploading compiled binaries, querying artifact metadata, and automating repository maintenance tasks.

Use it for:

- Download compiled binaries or build artifacts from a repository during CI/CD pipelines
- Upload build outputs to Artifactory after successful compilation or testing
- Walk and search artifact repositories to find specific files matching patterns
- Copy or move artifacts between repositories or folders programmatically
- Query artifact statistics and metadata for auditing or compliance reporting

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

A Python library that provides pathlib-like access to JFrog Artifactory repositories, enabling you to browse, download, upload, and manage artifacts through a filesystem-like interface.

Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, uses a permissive license, and fills a clear need for Python developers working with Artifactory. It is production-stable and widely downloaded, making it a reliable choice for artifact repository automation.

## Install

pip install dohq-artifactory
uv add dohq-artifactory
poetry add dohq-artifactory

## Installing dohq-artifactory

Before you install: Low friction installation with three common dependencies (requests, python-dateutil, PyJWT). The package is actively maintained with a recent release on 2025-04-08 and ongoing repository activity.

License in practice: MIT License permits free use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions, making it suitable for both open-source and commercial projects.

Quickstart:

from artifactory import ArtifactoryPath

path = ArtifactoryPath(
    "http://my-artifactory/artifactory/myrepo/path",
    apikey="MY_API_KEY"
)

with path.open() as fd:
    data = fd.read()

Verify before relying:

- Whether the package works with Artifactory versions prior to a specific release date
- Performance characteristics when working with very large artifact repositories
- Specific SSL/TLS version requirements beyond what the fact sheet indicates
