This is the API documentation for NuGet Packages.
This API is used by the NuGet package manager client and is generally not meant for manual consumption.
For instructions on how to upload and install NuGet packages from the GitLab package registry, see the NuGet package registry documentation.
These endpoints do not adhere to the standard API authentication methods. See the NuGet package registry documentation for details on which headers and token types are supported. Undocumented authentication methods might be removed in the future.
Package indexReturns the index for a given package, which includes a list of available versions:
GET projects/:id/packages/nuget/download/:package_name/index
Attribute Type Required Description id
string yes The ID or full path of the project. package_name
string yes The name of the package.
curl --user <username>:<personal_access_token> "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/packages/nuget/download/MyNuGetPkg/index"
Example response:
{
"versions": [
"1.3.0.17"
]
}
Download a package file
Download a NuGet package file. The metadata service provides this URL.
GET projects/:id/packages/nuget/download/:package_name/:package_version/:package_filename
Attribute Type Required Description id
string yes The ID or full path of the project. package_name
string yes The name of the package. package_version
string yes The version of the package. package_filename
string yes The name of the file.
curl --user <username>:<personal_access_token> "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/packages/nuget/download/MyNuGetPkg/1.3.0.17/mynugetpkg.1.3.0.17.nupkg"
Write the output to a file:
curl --user <username>:<personal_access_token> "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/packages/nuget/download/MyNuGetPkg/1.3.0.17/mynugetpkg.1.3.0.17.nupkg" > MyNuGetPkg.1.3.0.17.nupkg
This writes the downloaded file to MyNuGetPkg.1.3.0.17.nupkg
in the current directory.
This API returns a 404
status when you use group endpoints. Use the NuGet package manager CLI to install packages with group endpoints to avoid this error.

GitLab doesn’t receive an authentication token for the Packages()
and FindPackagesByID()
endpoints, so the latest version of the package cannot be returned. You must provide the version when you install or upgrade a package with the NuGet v2 feed.
