To download the latest build artifacts from Azure DevOps programmatically, you can use Azure DevOps REST APIs. Here are the general steps:

1. Get the latest build definition ID from Azure DevOps.

2. Use the build definition ID to get the latest build ID for the definition.

3. Use the latest build ID to get a list of artifacts associated with the build.

4. For each artifact, download the artifact using the download URL provided by Azure DevOps.

Here's an example code snippet in Python that you can use to download the latest build artifacts from Azure DevOps:

# Azure DevOps organization URL and project name

org_url = "https://dev.azure.com/YourOrganizationName"

# Personal access token (PAT) with full access to the organization

# Build definition ID for the latest build

# Construct the API URL to get the latest build ID

api_url = f"{org_url}/{project_name}/_apis/build/latest/{definition_id}"

response = requests.get(api_url, auth=("", pat))

# Construct the API URL to get the list of artifacts for the latest build

api_url = f"{org_url}/{project_name}/_apis/build/builds/{latest_build_id}/artifacts"

# Get the list of artifacts for the latest build

    download_url = artifact["resource"]["downloadUrl"]

    response = requests.get(download_url, auth=("", pat))

Make sure to replace YourOrganizationName, YourProjectName, YourPersonalAccessToken, and YourBuildDefinitionId with your own values. Also note that this example uses the requests library for HTTP requests. You can use any HTTP client library that you prefer.

Additionally, you may want to consider adding error handling and authentication validation to the code snippet. Here are some things you can do to improve the script:

Add error handling: Check the HTTP status codes returned by the Azure DevOps REST API calls and handle any errors appropriately. For example, if the API returns a 401 status code, the authentication token is invalid or expired. You can catch this error and prompt the user to provide a valid token.

Validate authentication: Make sure the user-provided personal access token is valid and has the necessary permissions to access the build artifacts. You can do this by making a simple API call to Azure DevOps that returns the user's profile information.

Allow user input: Rather than hard-coding the Azure DevOps organization URL, project name, personal access token, and build definition ID, you can prompt the user to enter these values at runtime. This makes the script more versatile and easier to use in different environments.

Use a library: Consider using a third-party Python library that wraps the Azure DevOps REST API calls. This can simplify your code and make it easier to read and maintain.

Here's an updated example code snippet that includes some of these improvements:

# Prompt the user for Azure DevOps organization URL, project name, and personal access token

org_url = input("Azure DevOps organization URL: ")

project_name = input("Azure DevOps project name: ")

# Construct the API URL to get the latest build ID for the user-provided build definition ID

definition_id = input("Build definition ID: ")

    print("Error: Failed to get latest build ID.")

    print(f"HTTP status code: {response.status_code}")

    print("Error: Failed to get list of artifacts.")
