Calling an API using powershell

Question

Hi All.

I have a curl script to call an api, but would like to use Ps to call it in the form of a loop 100 times and store he output response code i.e 200 etc.

curl --location --request GET 'https://my-api-url/224/employee' \  
--header 'URN-Token: xxxxxxxxxxxxx' \  
--header 'URN: 224'  

I tried to run this on PS using the code below.

$urn = 224  
#$token = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx'  
$url = "https://my-api-url/$urn/employee"  
$headers = @{  
    'urn' = '224'  
    'urn-token' = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx'  
}  
Invoke-RestMethod  -Uri $url -Headers $headers

@MrFlinstone , Thank you for reaching out. To call an Azure AD protected API, you can use something like:

This sample uses client_credentials flow to fetch access-tokens from AAD.

You can find the Powershell script here.

Note: Please modify the api as per requirement, as here we used Graph API for the test.

Hope this helps.
