List of all artifacts from Nexus repository

Question

Within my application I deploy generated artifacts to a certain (hosted) Nexus repository. From another instance of my application I want to know all artifacts that have been deployed to that repository. I studied the Nexus REST API but couldn't find a way to get that information. Does anybody know how to get a list/set of all artifacts of a given Nexus repository via REST or any other API?

Answer 1

The best way to monitor artifacts deployed to a Nexus repository is to subscribe to the RSS feed:

Answer 2

One method would be to note that Nexus simply provides a means to manage the integration of artifacts into a REST tree -- what we used to call a simple web server. In that manner, you can do what is effectively a scrape of the REST endpoint in the same manner that HTML content is scraped.

A better way is to download the indexes that are generated by Nexus and interpret them. Nexus Can't Download Remote Repo Index and Nexus - proxy repositories with no indexes? are references for what is going on with that method.
