Integrating NuGet

To authenticate and integrate NuGet within your C#/.NET SDK, you’ll need to create a NuGet API key and add it to your repository.

Creating a NuGet API key

1

Log In

Log into NuGet.

2

Navigate to API Keys

Click on your username in the top-right corner and select API Keys.

3

Generate API Key

  • Click on Create.
  • Name your key.
  • Select Push > Push new packages and package versions as the Select Scopes type.
  • Enter * under Select Packages > Glob Patten.
    Replacing an existing NuGet package

    If you are overriding an existing package, you can select the relevant package instead of entering *.

  • Click Create.
Save your API key

Be sure to save the generated key - it won’t be displayed after you leave the page.
