NuGet API call to get the latest version number of a package

I have a test harness, in which I would like to verify the version number of a nuget package automatically.

I have been searching for a good while trying to find a way to get the latest version number (not the latest package) for a given package. But no luck.

Is there a way to get the latest version number of a package via an API? (Needs to be automatable).

If it matters, I am using ProGet for my NuGet repository.

This url template will get you the package info (in XML) of the latest version. You will then have to parse out the LatestVersion or AbosluteLatestVersion:

$"https://{yourNuGetRepositoryBaseUrl}/nuget/{feedName}/Packages()?$filter=Id%20eq%20%27{packageId}%27%20and%20IsLatestVersion&$top=1"

Note that this works with ProGet (that has many different feeds). You could probably omit the FeedName part to use it with NuGet.org.
