Where is my TeamCity NuGet API Key stored?

Question

I want to publish to my TeamCity (v9) NuGet (v2.83) feed, using the TeamCity Publish build step.

But it is asking for the API key which no one knows?

I have seen %teamcity_nuget_api_key_1234567890123% TeamCity parameter about, but it didn't seem to work?

I do not have admin access to TeamCity, so it may be on a page I cannot see.

Can anyone help?

EDIT for clarity: I am using TeamCity as my NuGet Server.

Assuming you're using the internal TeamCity NuGet feed, you don't need to use the NuGet Publish build step; simply use NuGet Pack and choose to publish them as build artifacts. This will automatically publish them on the internal feed. Alternatively, if you have already created packages by some other means, you can simply publish them as build artifacts using General Settings -> Artifact Paths.

If you're trying to publish to an external feed, such as nuget.org, then the API key is externally managed and you'll need to 1) locate the API key from whoever manages the subscription to the feed, and 2) plug it into your build configuration.

Lots of information available in the online doco.
