Invoke-RestMethod

Short description
Sends an HTTP or HTTPS request to a RESTful web service.

Syntax


Description
The Invoke-RestMethod cmdlet sends HTTP and HTTPS requests to Representational State Transfer (REST) web services that 
returns richly structured data.


Windows PowerShell formats the response based to the data type. For an RSS or ATOM feed, Windows PowerShell returns 
the Item or Entry XML nodes. For JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) or XML, Windows PowerShell converts (or 
deserializes) the content into objects.


This cmdlet is introduced in Windows PowerShell 3.0.
