How to get Package ID given a package name via AzureDevOps REST API

Question

If I have just the package name, is it possible to get the package ID using a single API call. Looks like Package ID is required for any further API calls - to get versions of a package etc.,

Or is the only way to get all the packages from the feed, match with the name and then get the ID from that?

You can specify a packageNameQuery query parameter in the Get Packages rest api to retrieve the package's information with a given name.

GET https://feeds.dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/packaging/Feeds/{feedId}/packages?protocolType={protocolType}&packageNameQuery={packageNameQuery}&normalizedPackageName={normalizedPackageName}&includeUrls={includeUrls}&includeAllVersions={includeAllVersions}&isListed={isListed}&getTopPackageVersions={getTopPackageVersions}&isRelease={isRelease}&includeDescription={includeDescription}&$top={$top}&$skip={$skip}&includeDeleted={includeDeleted}&isCached={isCached}&directUpstreamId={directUpstreamId}&api-version=6.0-preview.1

For Organization scoped feeds:

$url= "https://feeds.dev.azure.com/{organization}/_apis/packaging/Feeds/{feedid or feedName}/packages?packageNameQuery={package Name}&api-version=6.0-preview.1"

For Project scoped feeds:

 $url= "https://feeds.dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/packaging/Feeds/{feedid or feedName}/packages?packageNameQuery={package Name}&api-version=6.0-preview.1"

See below example:

#Organization scoped feed
$url= "https://feeds.dev.azure.com/{organization}/_apis/packaging/Feeds/{feedid or feedName}/packages?packageNameQuery={package Name}&api-version=6.0-preview.1"

$PAT="Personal Access Token"

$base64AuthInfo= [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(":$($PAT)"))

$ArtInfo = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Headers @{Authorization = ("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)} -Method get
