Overview

Use this integration to grant Backline read-only access to your private NuGet feed. This allows Backline to work with .NET / C# repositories that depend on packages hosted there.
If your NuGet packages are served through JFrog Artifactory, Nexus, AWS CodeArtifact, or Google Artifact Registry, use the matching registry integration instead — those expose a dedicated NuGet Repository URL field. Use this integration for any other private NuGet v3 feed.

​
What You Can Do

With the NuGet integration, Backline can:
  • Access private NuGet packages required by your repositories
  • Analyze dependencies from your private feed
  • Work with .NET / C# repositories that depend on packages hosted in your private feed

​
Prerequisites

Before connecting NuGet, ensure you have:
  • A private NuGet v3 feed
  • Ability to generate read-only access tokens for your feed
  • The feed URL (the NuGet v3 index, ending with /index.json)

​
Connecting NuGet

1

Generate Read-Only Token

In your NuGet feed, create a read-only access token. This token will allow Backline to access your private packages without modification permissions.
2

Copy Feed URL

Get the v3 index URL for your private NuGet feed (e.g., https://nuget.company.com/v3/index.json).
3

Navigate to Integrations

In Backline, go to the Integration Hub from the main menu.
4

Select NuGet

Find and click on the NuGet integration card.
5

Enter Credentials

Provide your feed details:
  • Username: The username associated with the token (optional, depending on your feed)
  • Registry Token: Your read-only access token
  • Registry URL: The v3 index URL of your private NuGet feed (must end with /index.json)
6

Complete Connection

Click Connect to complete the integration setup.

​
After Connection

Once NuGet is connected, Backline will:
  1. Use the provided credentials to access your private feed
  2. Retrieve packages needed for dependency analysis in your repositories
  3. Analyze dependencies from both public (nuget.org) and private NuGet packages
Your private feed is added alongside nuget.org rather than replacing it, so public packages keep resolving. The read-only token ensures Backline can only access packages without making any modifications to your feed.

Updating Settings

To modify NuGet feed credentials:
  1. Open the Integration Hub
  2. Click Configure on the NuGet integration card
  3. Update the Username, Registry Token, or Registry URL as needed
  4. Save your changes
