In this video, I demonstrate how to use Postman, a free API development and testing tool, to format URL’s and make requests against web endpoints and use those URL’s to get data in PowerShell. I also give a quick walk through of viewing the data in PowerShell.

I have one scenario. I have 5 log analytic workspaces. I want to move all the logs from those workspace to one workspace. Do you have any idea
Hi Travis,
I am trying to work with invoke-restmethod for the first time. I have a URL from our HR provider. I know this URL works as I get an output in Postman using the key in the header. However when I use invoke-restmethod in PowerShell I get no out put.
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> $params
Name Value
—- —–
ContentType application/json
Method GET
Headers {X-SFAPI-AppName, X-SFAPI-RSAKey, X-SFAPI-Account}
Uri https://sfcola1.dataon.com/sfapi/index.cfm?endpoint=/philippinedemo_FULL_SDP_Emp_Info
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> (Invoke-RestMethod @params).length
0
Can you please help me out what could be wrong or what is causing the no output in the Invoke-RestMethod command?
Thanks
Ivan
