How to Bulk Download Azure Artifacts Packages?

We don't have a bulk download option, but it would be pretty easy to script something yourself.

First, you'll want to get a PAT. Make sure the PAT has the Packaging (read) scope. You will use the PAT as a password for authentication. The username you use doesn't matter.

Then, you'll need to get the list of all packages in the feed. You can use our Get Packages API for that.

Then, for NuGet packages, the protocol is as follows:

1. Download the feed URL (from the Connect to Feed dialog, will end with .../v3/index.json)
2. Read the returned JSON document, get the @id attribute from the object with @type = PackageBaseAddress/3.0.0. This is the PackageBaseAddress. Note that the actual value is considered an implementation detail. Always retrieve the address from index.json.
3. If you do not already have the list of versions, download {PackageBaseAddress}/{PackageName (lowercased)}/index.json which will have the list as a JSON array (I suggest getting the versions this way since they will already be normalized)
4. Download the packages from {PackageBaseAddress}/{PackageName (lowercase)}/{PackageVersion (normalized)}/{PackageName (lowercase)}.{PackageVersion (normalized)}.nupkg
   • e.g. {PackageBaseAddress}/restsharp/106.4.1/restsharp.106.4.1.nupkg
   • Be sure to follow redirects, as the service will actually send you to download from our backend storage

For npm packages:

1. Get the Feed URL from the Connect to Feed dialog (it will end with .../npm/registry)
2. Download {Feed URL}/{PackageName} (for scoped packages include the scope, e.g. {Feed URL}/@{Scope}/{PackageName})
3. Download URLs for each version are listed in the JSON response as versions.*.dist.tarball
4. Again, be sure to handle redirects when downloading the packages.
