How to use Postman and PowerShell to Query API data

[@jeffsandy4075]

You covered it all! Thanks. Like you, I'm an infrastructure guy who, from time-to-time, has to do developer things - with PowerShell. This bridged the gap!

Travis, you really are an excellent trainer, this is very clear and east to understand. Combining it with Postman is very helpful.

Not bad. However, I think it's crucial to mention that building the headers in API calls in Powershell is really tough. There is a feature called "code snippet" in PostMan. It even has a PowerShell rest-method function in there to easily create PowerShell code. Would've been invaluable to have that in this tutorial. I stumbled on it by accident.

I tried the snippet but it really over complicates how to create the request instead of how the header is created i just used
$headers = @{
"Content-Type" = "application/json"
}

This is a brilliant tutorial!

Hi Travis, newbie so apologies for this question: do I have subscribe to a plan in Openweather to be allowed to allow me to send an API Key from the Postman application?

Really cool easy to understand tutorial , is it possible and good idea to use REST API to manage / deploy instances in AWS EC2 or AZ COMPUTE

Thanks. I haven't thought much about doing that. It would depend on the environment and requirements. Security is always important as well.

I believe your state code should be "US-MN" as referenced in ISO standard here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:US
