You can replace curl with Invoke-WebRequest and parse the JSON with ConvertFrom-Json.
$r = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $uri -Method Post -Body $body
$j = ConvertFrom-Json $r.Content
I've left out setting the value of $uri and $body. I hope this is enough for you to get started with.
Update
First response was written too quickly. You probably need to pass header and body.
Like curl, Invoke-Webrequest is powerful and complex. You can find online documentation here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/invoke-webrequest?view=powershell-7.2&WT.mc_id=ps-gethelp
You'll need to use the Headers and Body Parameters:
-Headers <System.Collections.IDictionary>
Specifies the headers of the web request. Enter a hash table or dictionary.
To set UserAgent headers, use the UserAgent parameter. You can't use this parameter to specify User-Agent or cookie headers.
Content related headers, such as Content-Type is overridden when a MultipartFormDataContent object is supplied for Body .
-Body <System.Object>
Specifies the body of the request. The body is the content of the request that follows the headers. You can also pipe a body value to Invoke-WebRequest.
The Body parameter can be used to specify a list of query parameters or specify the content of the response.
When the input is a GET request and the body is an IDictionary (typically, a hash table), the body is added to the URI as query
parameters. For other request types (such as
POST), the body is set as the value of the request body in the standard name=value format.
The Body parameter may also accept a System.Net.Http.MultipartFormDataContent object. This facilitates multipart/form-data requests. When a MultipartFormDataContent object is supplied for Body , any Content related headers supplied to the ContentType , Headers , or WebSession parameters is overridden by the Content headers of the MultipartFormDataContent object. This feature was added in PowerShell 6.0.0.
Looks like you'll have to create a MultipartFormDataContent object. Note this was added in PowerShell Version 6, so you can't use the Windows built-in default version 5. If you haven't already, you'll probably need to install the latest version of Version 7. (I use version 7 and it's great.)
So for headers you'd create something like:
$headers = [ordered]#{
'X-ANYPNT-ENV-ID' = '4a96abfd4f5237cf1b64'
'X-ANYPNT-ORG-ID' = 'bc0d-3b9fd79234ad'
'Authorization' = 'Bearer 3esede-a44b-29ab8841b508'
}
Then make a call like:
$r = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $uri -Method Post `
-Headers $headers -Body $myMultipartFormDataContent
I haven't used MultipartFormDataContent so I'll leave that up to you. I hope this provides you with a good starting point.
