how to convert curl command in Invoke-RestMethod of powershell

Question

I need to convert the following command from bash curl to powershell syntax:

curl -s --head --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN:XXXXXX" "https://gitlab.XXXXXX/api/v4/projects/${id}/issues?state=all&per_pages=100"

This one in particular to get value of X-Total-Page from results.

I've tried to convert with this, but doesn't works:

function getPageNumbers ($myId)
    {

        $privateToken = "myToken" 

        $headers = @{"PRIVATE-TOKEN"="$privateToken"}

        $url = "https://gitlab.XXXXXX/api/v4/projects/$myId/issues?state=all&per_pages=100"

        $result = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Head -Uri "$url" -Header $headers  -ContentType "text/json" 


        return $result
    }

maybe because the "Head" method is used only for Invoke-Webrequest ?

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance!

what about Invoke-webrequest?

I am not seeing the body. But you can add that. You can do something like this:

$privateToken = "myToken" 
$headers = @{"PRIVATE-TOKEN"="$privateToken"}

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://gitlab.XXXXXX/api/v4/projects/$myId/issues?state=all&per_pages=100" -ContentType "application/json" -Headers $headers -Method Post

I would also suggest you to go through the CURL to Invoke-WebRequest

Hope it helps.

I tried this: $R= Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -Headers $headers -ContentType "application/json" -Method Get -UseBasicParsing and with $R.Content I can see the whole text but I'm now trying to parse it ...

Ranadip Dutta Over a year ago

you can convert that to json using $R.Content | Convertto-Json -Depth 3. You can handle the parsing part in multiple ways. But atleast your curl got converted to Invoke-webrequest now

ClaudioM Over a year ago

yes I found it, but this is the right one that I need $x = $R.Content | Out-String | ConvertFrom-Json

Ranadip Dutta Over a year ago

@ClaudioM: That makes better sense if the content is already in json;)

why do you suggest Invoke-WebRequest over Invoke-RestMethod
