Excellent, thank you for your response!

One last question, I promise!

This isn't a deal breaker but more of a curiosity: using an API key, is it also possible to do more trivial HTTP GET requests to download artefacts/packages from the ProGet feed in a more rudimentary way? Rather than these functions from the PowerShellGet / PackageManagement modules, instead do more trivial things like Invoke-WebRequest -Uri ".." -OutFile ".." -Headers @{Authorization = "Bearer <apikey>"}.

Hello, I'm looking for products to host a NuGet feed for PowerShell modules and ProGet was recommended to me. I notice with Basic $1999 p/year we get security controls. I'm mostly interested in API keys.

My question is, is it possible to protect the installation/download of modules using normal functions/cmdlets such as Install-module or Update-Module from a ProGet hosted repository, protected with an API key? Ideally I want to avoid exposing the feed publicly with anonymous access.

The docs only provide examples of using an API key with PowerShell repositories for publishing. https://docs.inedo.com/docs/proget/feeds/powershell
