How to get filename strings from Azure DevOps artifact build - azure-devops

Question

I want to create a script which count how many times a specific file appears in an artifact builds.
I'm trying to get the name of artifact files from Azure DevOps Rest Apis but it seems it doesn't exit any API calls to get that information.
These are the API calls I'm using to get artifact names from a specific pipeline:
This api get all the builds of a specific pipeline: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/pipelines/runs/run-pipeline?view=azure-devops-rest-7.1
GET https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/pipelines/{pipelineId}/runs/{runId}?api-version=7.1-preview.1
When I get all the build-ID of that pipeline, I can start searching artifacts:
GET https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/build/builds/{buildId}/artifacts?api-version=7.0
Now I have all the artifacts of a specific build but I don't have idea how the get the filenames string of the artifacts. The only thing I found in Azure DevOps documentation is a REST API call to download specific files of the artifact:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/pipelines/artifacts/get?view=azure-devops-rest-7.1
GET https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/pipelines/{pipelineId}/runs/{runId}/artifacts?artifactName={artifactName}&$expand={$expand}&api-version=7.1-preview.1
or
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/build/artifacts/get-artifact?view=azure-devops-rest-7.1
GET GET https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/build/builds/{buildId}/artifacts?artifactName={artifactName}&api-version=7.1-preview.5
What I expect is to find a REST API that get also some information of the files inside the artifacts.
Do someone know how to get that information?

You could use the following API which can be captured in the network trace:
POST https://dev.azure.com/{org}/_apis/Contribution/HierarchyQuery?api-version=5.0-preview
Here's the sample request body:
{
"contributionIds": [
"ms.vss-build-web.run-artifacts-data-provider"
],
"dataProviderContext": {
"properties": {
"artifactId": {artifactId},
"buildId": {buildId},
"sourcePage": {
"routeValues": {
"project": "{YourProjectName}"
}
}
}
}
}
And you'll get a response like this:
{
"dataProviderSharedData": {},
"dataProviders": {
"ms.vss-web.component-data": {},
"ms.vss-web.shared-data": null,
"ms.vss-build-web.run-artifacts-data-provider": {
"buildId": 1487,
"buildNumber": "1487",
"definitionId": 176,
"definitionName": "test5-CI",
"items": [
{
"artifactId": 117,
"name": "/TestResults",
"sourcePath": "/TestResults",
"size": 0,
"type": "directory",
"items": null
},
{
"artifactId": 117,
"name": "/a",
"sourcePath": "/a",
"size": 0,
"type": "directory",
"items": null
},
{
"artifactId": 117,
"name": "/b",
"sourcePath": "/b",
"size": 0,
"type": "directory",
"items": null
},
{
"artifactId": 117,
"name": "/s",
"sourcePath": "/s",
"size": 988,
"type": "directory",
"items": [
{
"artifactId": 117,
"name": "/s/README.md",
"sourcePath": "/s/README.md",
"size": 985,
"type": "file",
"items": null
},
{
"artifactId": 117,
"name": "/s/folder1",
"sourcePath": "/s/folder1",
"size": 3,
"type": "directory",
"items": [
{
"artifactId": 117,
"name": "/s/folder1/file1",
"sourcePath": "/s/folder1/file1",
"size": 3,
"type": "file",
"items": null
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
}
}
In postman:
And for your reference, this is the artifact in Azure DevOps:
