) -> None

Examples:

Most common way to initialize

)

Return a single artifact by parsing path in the form project/name or entity/project/name.

Returns
An Artifact object.
Raises
ValueErrorIf the artifact name is not specified.
ValueErrorIf the artifact type is specified but does not match the type of the fetched artifact.
