Download/ upload a NuGet package using cmd with ProGet Key or Username/ password

Re: Download a NuGet package using cmd

Q1: How can I pass the API key or username and password using the example provided of my old forum?

Q2: How can I upload a NuGet package to a ProGet feed using similar API?

Can you provide me with PowerShell script for that as in the referenced in my old forum?

Hi @hashim-abu-gellban_3562 ,

If you plan to use the NuGet API, it's best to familiarize yourself with how it works. We do not document this API nor provide examples, we simply implement Microsoft's API. Here area few links that may be helpful:

• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/api/overview
• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/api/package-publish-resource

When Basic authentication is required, you can use api/{your-key} for username/password. You can learn more about API keys in ProGet here:

• https://docs.inedo.com/docs/proget-administration-security-api-keys

As an alternative, you may find ProGet's Common Package API to be easier to use; we also document it and have several examples:

• https://docs.inedo.com/docs/proget-api-common-package

The Following is the reply from Steve https://forums.inedo.com/topic/3956/download-a-nuget-package-using-cmd/2?_=1710614207806

I see a few issues here...

First, the URL you're using is not correct; the easiest way to to find the url by clicking the "download package link" in the ProGet UI. It will look like this: /nuget/your-feed-name/package/your-package-name/your-version-number

Second, you're downloading a file - so you want to use a powershell command like this:

$url = "https://myprogetserver/feeds/mynuggets/package/mypackage/1.0.0"
$destination = "c:\mypackages\mypackage-1.0.0.zip"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile $destination
Best,
Steve

I tried api/{your-key} but it did not work.
$url = "https://myprogetserver/feeds/mynuggets/package/mypackage/1.0.0/mykey"
$destination = "c:\mypackages\mypackage-1.0.0.zip"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile $destination

I would like to download the package as mypackage.zip file. I do not need to install it.
Is this correct? "https://myprogetserver/feeds/mynuggets/package/mypackage/1.0.0/mykey"

Thanks,
Hashim

Hi @hashim-abu-gellban_3562 ,

If you need to authenticate to the feed, you need to pass an API key using Basic authentication., with api as the username and your key as the password.

Here is one way to do this in PowerShell.

$user = 'api'
$pass = 'abcdefg12345'
$pair = "$($user):$($pass)"
$encodedCreds = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($pair))
$basicAuthValue = "Basic $encodedCreds"
$Headers = @{
    Authorization = $basicAuthValue
}

$url = "https://myprogetserver/feeds/mynuggets/package/mypackage/1.0.0"
$destination = "c:\mypackages\mypackage-1.0.0.zip"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile $destination -Headers $Headers

I would recommend first getting your scripts to work without authentication, then add it in later.

Cheers,
Alana

Hi Alana,

I found the issue of the url provided from the former forum. It should be "nuget" instead of "feeds", as follows:
$url = "https://myprogetserver/**nuget**/mynuggets/package/mypackage/1.0.0"

The complete PowerShell is as follows:

$user = 'api'
$pass = 'abcdefg12345'
$pair = "$($user):$($pass)"
$encodedCreds = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($pair))
$basicAuthValue = "Basic $encodedCreds"
$Headers = @{
    Authorization = $basicAuthValue
}

$url = "https://myprogetserver/nuget/mynuggets/package/mypackage/1.0.0"
$destination = "c:\mypackages\mypackage-1.0.0.zip"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile $destination -Headers $Headers

Thanks,
Hashim
