What is the URL for NuGet Gallery to access (nuget.org) from VS2010 via Package Manager Console? I tried to use the Web site URL (http://nuget.org/List/Packages) but it didn't work.

With NuGet 3, the url has changed again, it's now https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json.

Microsoft Docs should always list the latest feed address: Use packages from nuget.org > Enable the upstream on an existing feed.

Why oh why is this so difficult to find on NuGet.org? It should be featured prominently on the landing page. I need to find this answer every time - thanks!
For even better copypaste: <add key="nugetorg" value="api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" />
In my case, it kept getting blocked by the company's firewall,have to ask and reask whenever it got blocked... The security guy blame the URL, what the f is wrong with nuget anyway. Every other site I use pass the firewall
I know it's late, but this bit me. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/nuget-org/… is a direct link to MS documentation for the current NuGet API endpoint. Looks like v3 is still current.

The Microsoft Go link in the accepted answer above is an old one, the correct URL is: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=230477

This points to https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/, which is the NuGet version 2 package source feed.

I tend to use the actual URL, not the Go link anyway. As proven by the two different Go links, there is no guarantee it won't change as well, so I find it more explicit to point to the actual URL.

The Microsoft Go links are, in my opinion, a bad idea. They completely obscure the actual web URL, which defeats the purpose of HTTP addresses in the first place.

Note that there is a new feed URL as of NuGet 3.0: https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=206669

That maps to: http://packages.nuget.org/v1/FeedService.svc/ but you should use the Go link to future-proof yourself.

The URL above is an old one, see my answer below for the newer URL to the version 2 NuGet feed.
Current link is api.nuget.org/v3/index.json hidden at the bottom of their FAQ page.

The most up to date nuget package url should be documented here:

Microsoft Nuget FAQ

(as at this moment, that would be: https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json)

For the life of me, I do not understand why this is not displayed prominently on nuget.org landing page. 🤦‍♂️

Now I think the better place for Nuget to maintain this URL is Overview of NuGet.org -> API endpoint for Nuget.org.

I found that http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=206669 points to the full NuGet Gallery while the default registered url https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=206669 (watch the protocol: Https) points only to the Official NuGet package source.

For reference, you can check what the supported URLs are by going directly to the NuGet site here: https://www.nuget.org and looking under the heading 'NuGet Feed Locations'

one year later - and no such heading. Really, this info should always stay on their landing page!
This answer is incorrect. The URL is not on the homepage.
Microsoft's go links have always been worthless. They change everything every couple of years. The concept of a permalink is unknown to them. So much frustration!
