Download DacPac with Power Shell Script - azure-devops

Question

I've currently got a pipeline that builds and deploys DacPacs to our on-premise databases. However, we have some self-hosted clients who right now get a migration script on each release. We'd like to transition them to also being able to use DacPacs for deployments. I was wondering if it's possible to have a Powershell script that pulls the DacPac file from the artifacts directory on Azure DevOps?

In Azure Pipeline, you need to publish the file to Build artifacts via Publish Build Artifacts task.
- task: PublishBuildArtifacts#1
displayName: 'Publish Artifact: drop1'
inputs:
PathtoPublish: 'dacpac file path'
ArtifactName: drop
Then you could use the following Powershell script to download the target file:
$token = "PAT"
$url1= "https://dev.azure.com/{OrganizationName}/{ProjectName}/_apis/build/builds/{BuildId}/artifacts?artifactName={ArtifactsName}&api-version=5.1"
$response1 = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url1 -Headers #{Authorization = "Basic $token"} -Method Get -ContentType application/json
$containerid = $response1.resource.data
echo $containerid
$result= ("$containerid" -split "/")[1]
echo $result
$url="https://dev.azure.com/{OrganizationName}/_apis/resources/Containers/$($result)/{ArtifactsName}?itemPath={path to the item including the root}" #e.g.item file path drop%2FForumContext1.dacpac use %2F replace /
$token = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(":$($token)"))
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Headers #{Authorization = "Basic $token"} -Method Get -ContentType application/octet-stream -OutFile "C:\Response.dacpac"
On the other hand, Azure Devops also supports directly deploying the Dacpac file to on-premise database.
In Release Pipeline, you could use the SQL Server database deploy task in Deployment Group Job.
