Hello. I'm interested in knowing if those web calls are all done securely or is it potentially unsecure without being specified? So I guess I am asking what the difference/s are between the Powershell usage and using a browser? And I am asking like someone that doesn't know because I don't :)

[@shadaxgaming]

Just like a browser, both commands can send http and https requests where https communicates over SSL/TLS.

Awesome explanation! Thank you!

My VS code terminal isn't showing results from API but the same code in my local Powershell does. The VS code PS terminal shows a clickable file path when I run the code.

How can I retry a invoke web request until I get a status code of 200?

[@ernestmedina2448]
