Connect to PSB API with Powershell

DannyMalvang

I just got access to an API key and would like to pull some data from the PSB portal and compare with AD. Sadly I cannot figure out how to connect via Powershell.

Found this: https://community.f-secure.com/en/discussion/91901/conncet-to-api-via-powershell

where it seemed to be solved but the solutions isn't shown in the posts.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I use this method to obtain and save the token as a variable and then pass it to the authentication header for all subsequent request.

$uri = "<API URL>/authentication/login"

$auth = @{

  'X-API-Key' = "<api key>"

}

$body = @{

    'username' = '<username>'

    'password' = '<password>'

}

$token = (invoke-restmethod -Uri $tokenuri -Method Post -Headers $auth -Body $body).token

$header = @{

  'X-API-Key' = "<api key>"

  'Authorization' = "Bearer $token"

}

Hi @DannyMalvang,

did you get the problem sorted out? If not you can drop the calls you are trying to me in private message and I can check what is going wrong.

I got it working with your help, but mostly I was using a - instead of a _ in the username. DOH! It helps if the credentials is correct

Heres what I did:

$url = "<API URL>"

$apiKey = 'XXXXXXXXXXX'

$auth = @{

 'X-API-Key' = $apiKey

}

$body = @{

 'username' = "asdsa@dsads.com"

 'password' = "123456789"

}

$token = (invoke-restmethod -Uri "$url/authentication/login" -Method Post -Headers $auth -Body $body).token

Now I can use wget to get all computers:

wget -Uri "$url/partners/1234/reports/computers" -Method Get -Headers @{ 'x-api-key' = $apiKey ; Authorization = "Bearer $Token"}

Now I only need to figure out how to reformat the data to something usefull
