Download packages based on Metadata
-
I want search and download for a known package(s) that has the name and custom metatdata of _skintype : “purplecarrot”?
How would I do that?
Product: ProGet
Version: 4.7.12 -
This isn't part of the API, but it sounds like it would be a good addition. Performance might be an issue with lots of packages when searching custom properties due to indexing limitations, but it still could be a worthwhile API.
Right now, you can request metadata for all of the packages and search for the property there. Not a great solution, but it may be enough for now. (see API docs here)

Thanks Dean. Ultimately - when I saw that custom metadata could be added to universal packages - I wanted to use that to filter my downloads so that I could automate package downloading by something other than full version and build number. Say I know the name and major.minor.revision and mark a given build (posted with major.minor.revision.build) as something that's "ReadyForUse" - then I could look for the specific "ReadyForUse" packages of the given name and major.minor.version. Downloading was actually what I was hoping for with custom metadata.
I'm still not fully understanding that searching for all packages is possible as per the API docs, but I think just not on the same page as you. Could you aim me a little more at the doc item you mean :-)? Thanks

You can do this...
GET /upack/«feed-name»/search?query=«search-query»&count=«max-items»This is the same API that the ProGet Web Application uses to show results to users, and returns a list of packages similar to the packages endpoint.
