No output from Invoke-RestMethod where as there was an output in PostMan tool

icavila · October 12, 2021, 12:59am

I’ve used PostMan tool to test an API URL from our API provider and it generated the expected output but when I use Invoke-RestMethod to consume the API it does not get the expected result. In fact the command gets “”.

Below is the invoke-restmethod command and the DEBUG output:

Please let me know if what I did is correct or not.

It is possible to edit the original post rather than create new ones but don’t worry, what you’ve done is fine , it’s much more readable. I think you’ve copied it from your original post though as the curly quotes are still present.

If the API key and Account should not be public, you should edit your posts to remove that information.

Regarding your actual problem, it’s a bit difficult for anyone to comment without access to the API in question or, perhaps, a link to some documentation.

Have you tried with Invoke-WebRequest to see if you get any kind of response?

icavila · October 15, 2021, 9:53am

Yes I still get no output.

Invoke-WebRequest 'https://sfcola1.dataon.com/sfapi/index.cfm?endpoint=/philippinedemo_FULL_SDP_test_abcd' -Method 'GET' -Headers $headers -MaximumRedirection 0
