Using API on PowerShell

[patrick.bungama_6441]

Hello,

I am having some issues with ProGet API. I am trying to use Powershell in order to create, update feeds, and then add some retention rules. My script is based on this doc: https://docs.inedo.com/docs/proget/reference/api/feed-management.

Here is the script:

$progetApiUrl = "https://{server}/"
$apiKey = "secret-api-key"

#Force TLS 1.2
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
$Header = @{"X-ApiKey" = $apiKey}
$uri = "$progetApiUrl/api/management/feeds/create/"
$Body = @{name="example";feedType="universal";active=$true}

$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -Uri $uri -ContentType "application/json" -Headers $Header -Body ( $Body | ConvertTo-Json)

A sample response is:

• The api documentation: https://github.com/Inedo/inedo-docs/blob/master/ProGet/reference/api/native.htm

Using that documentation, i have tried to create my feeds like this:

$progetApiUrl = "https://{server}/"
$apiKey = "secret-api-key"
#Force TLS 1.2
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
$Header = @{"X-ApiKey" = $apiKey}
$uri = "$progetApiUrl/Feeds_CreateFeed"

$body = @{
        Feed_Name = "example";
        FeedType_Name = "universal";
        FeedConfiguration_Xml = '<Inedo.ProGet.Feeds.NuGet.NuGetFeedConfig Assembly="ProGetCoreEx">
               <Properties SymbolServerEnabled="True"          				  			   	 
                                   StripSymbolFiles="True"
                            	   UseLegacyVersioning="False" />
            	</Inedo.ProGet.Feeds.NuGet.NuGetFeedConfig>'
        }

$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -Uri $uri -ContentType "application/json" -Headers $Header -Body ( $body | ConvertTo-Json)

The response is a Feed_Id. But the feed has some issues when i am trying to access it. I have this error:
Server Error in '/' Application.
Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.
Parameter name: code

[ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.

The only way to manage the feed is by using the administration url in a browser:

• https://{server}/administration/feeds/manage-feed?feedId=xxxx
  So, it is possible to modify the feed and even to delete it.

Can you please give me a sample way to do that using the API?

The first example you mentioned (i.e. the one to /api/management/feeds/create) is using the Feeds Management API; it looks ok to me on first glance... can you share the error message you got when invoking it? You should be able to see logged request/responses in the Admin > API Keys as well.

The second example you mentioned (Feeds_CreateFeed) is using the Native API, which we don't really recommend if there's an alternative available. It is basically a wrapper around stored procedures and the database. But in this case, it looks mostly correct, but the FeedType_Name is wrong; if you look at the Feeds table in the database, you'll see a universal feed is actually called ProGet in the database.

Anyways, please use /api/management/feeds because it's easier to use and won't change if we update the database or stored procs.
