PowerShell Example

Create your PowerShell script

Create a PowerShell script called example.ps1, which fetches a list of endpoints from a subdomain.

1. In your working directory, create a new file called example.ps1, and then copy the following code into it.
   

   # Create a GET request and save the response.
   $response = Invoke-WebRequest https://.my.redcanary.co/openapi/v3/endpoints `
   -Headers @{'X-Api-Key' = ''} `
   -Method GET
   
   # Print the body of the response.
   $response.Content

2. In example.ps1, replace with the Red Canary subdomain you want to query.

3. In example.ps1, replace with your API key.

4. Save example.ps1.

Run the example

Open PowerShell, and run your example.

.\example.ps1

The script should print a JSON object containing the first page of endpoints associated with the subdomain.

Note: You might need to change PowerShell’s execution policy to RemoteSigned to run your script. For more information, see Change the execution policy in the Microsoft docs.

Customize your request with parameters

You can use HTTP parameters to customize the results of your request. Visit the Red Canary API docs for a list of supported parameters for each API endpoint.

Example: Limit the number of endpoints returned

Limit the number of endpoints returned by example.ps1 using the per_page parameter.

1. Open example.ps1, and edit the response to include the -Body parameter.
   

   $response = Invoke-WebRequest https://.my.redcanary.co/openapi/v3/endpoints `
   -Headers @{'X-Api-Key' = ''} `
   -Method GET `
   -Body @{'per_page' = '1'}

   This sets the number of requested endpoints to one.

2. Save example.ps1, and then run the example. The program should print a JSON object containing exactly one endpoint.
