PowerShell Quick Tips : Invoke-RestMethod vs Invoke-WebRequest (Calling Rest APIs)

[@ahmadamir6532]

Hey man, your videos helped me a lot in my work. Really appreciate the effort and guidance in navigating these topics

@Host Hello. I'm interested in knowing if those web calls are all done securely or is it potentially unsecure without being specified? So I guess I am asking what the difference/s are between the Powershell usage and using a browser? And I am asking like someone that doesn't know because I don't :)

[@shadaxgaming]

Just like a browser, both commands can send http and https requests where https communicates over SSL/TLS.

[@g.ryanpeterson9686]

Thanks, you explained the difference very well!

[@ExcellenceExemplar]

Awesome explanation! Thank you!

[@arunmaheshwaram1234]

Thanks mate! Good explanation.

My VS code terminal isn't showing results from API but the same code in my local Powershell does. The VS code PS terminal shows a clickable file path when I run the code.

[@ernestmedina2448]

Good video but can you explain a post method not sure how to pass the parameters to the API.

[@taslimshaikh3906]

How do you put the data in a csv or txt file

[@Cherish916]

How can I retry a invoke web request until I get a status code of 200?
