URL to get the latest NuGet package using Sonatype Nexus

I have a NuGet package hosted on a Sonatype Nexus server and want a URL I can call to download the latest version of the package. I can get a particular version of the package by calling the following URL:

http://mynexus/content/repositories/nuget-releases/MyNuGetPackage/1.0.0.0/MyNuGetPackage-1.0.0.0.nupkg

How can I get the latest version of the package without knowing what the latest version number is?

My first thought is, how does the Package Manager console resolve the latest version when you use the cmdlet Install-Package? Perhaps you could use the PackageRepositoryFactory class in NuGet.Core to connect to your server and then use semver to determine the latest? blog.nuget.org/20130520/Play-with-packages.html – Dan Mork

Answer from Sonatype Nexus support:

NuGet clients calculate the latest version based on downloaded package metadata. Nexus does not expose a single REST call to get the latest Nuget package. You would have to try and mimic what a nuget client does.
