  title: PowerShell Gallery Metadata Search API
  description: 'The PowerShell Gallery exposes a public OData v2 API for discovering, retrieving,

    and downloading PowerShell modules, scripts, and DSC resources. The service is

    consumed by the PowerShellGet / Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet client modules,

    but can also be queried directly via HTTP. Publishing endpoints require a Gallery

    API key passed in the X-NuGet-ApiKey header.
