Visual Studio Online REST API Version seems to be 2.0

Question

I would like to download the build artficats of a successful build via REST API. When calling the REST API it is not working as described in the reference guide. When I have a look at the HTTP response header of such a REST API request it is:

Content-Type:

application/json; charset=utf-8; api-version=2.0

And when adding request parameter api-version=1.0 it does not return any results.

This request:

https://{account}.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/{project}/_apis/build/builds?api-version=1.0

returns: { "value": [ ], "count": 0 }

And this request

https://{account}.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/{project}/_apis/build/builds?api-version=2.0

returns JSON containing build information, but without URL pointing to the artifacts.

So it seems Visual Studio Online REST API is only working with version 2.0.

Thanks and best regards!
