c# - How can I get the NuGet package version programmatically from a NuGet feed?

Question

First off, of all the NuGet code, I'm trying to figure out which one to reference.

The main question is, given a NuGet package name, is there a programmatic way to retrieve the versions from the NuGet feed and also the latest version for general consumption?

For example, given a package name of ILMerge, it would be nice to get the latest package version of 2.13.307.

// Pseudo code, makes a lot of assumptions about NuGet programmatic interfaces
PackageRef currentVersion = nugetlib.getpackageinfo(args[0]);
Console.WriteLine("Package Id: '{0}':", pkg.Id);
Console.WriteLine("  Current version: {0}", pkg.Version);
Console.WriteLine("  Available versions: {0}", String.Join(",",pkg.Versions.Select(_=>_)));

Answer 1

Use the NuGet core package:

string packageID = "ILMerge";

// Connect to the official package repository
IPackageRepository repo = PackageRepositoryFactory.Default.CreateRepository("https://packages.nuget.org/api/v2");
var version =repo.FindPackagesById(packageID).Max(p=>p.Version);
