## Data localization support for Artifacts

[Artifacts](https://developers.cloudflare.com/artifacts/)

Copy as Markdown| [View as Markdown](https://developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/post/2026-08-13-artifacts-jurisdictions/index.md)| [Agent setup](https://developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

Artifacts now supports jurisdictions, allowing you to select the European Union or the United States as the only location where repo data is stored and processed.

Select a jurisdiction when you create a namespace. Every repo in that namespace automatically uses the selected jurisdiction.

```bash
curl --request POST \
  "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$ACCOUNT_ID/artifacts/namespaces" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
    "namespace": "my-eu-namespace",
    "jurisdiction": "eu"
  }'
```

Jurisdictions cannot be changed after namespace creation. If you omit the jurisdiction, Artifacts creates an unrestricted namespace.

For supported jurisdictions and usage details, refer to [Data localization](https://developers.cloudflare.com/artifacts/guides/data-localization/).
