[SOLVED] Convert a curl command to powershell

Issue

I would like to convert a command to generate a masterkey from curl to PowerShell but I never did things like that before.. The objective is to access to an ovea Api but first I have to generate a masterkey. Here is the curl command (tested on centos and works):

curl -L -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Basic Yw...=' -X POST https://dnsadmin.test.com/apikeys --data '{"description": "masterkey","domains":["testapi.com"], "role": "User"}'

And here is what I tried:

$headers = @{}
$headers.Add = ("Authorization",'Basic Yw...=')
$headers.Add {-description = "masterkey","domains" ["testapi.com"], "role": "User"}
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri https://dnsadmin.test.com/apikeys -Headers $headers -ContentType "application/json"

If any of you have an idea I would take it thank you.

Solution

When you specify --data with curl it is sent as the body of the request. In the Powershell example you're trying to do some stuff with the header that doesn't make sense.

This would be the equivalent to your curl command:

$headers = @{
  Authorization = 'Basic Yw...='
}
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri https://dnsadmin.test.com/apikeys -Headers $headers -ContentType "application/json" -Body '{"description": "masterkey","domains":["testapi.com"], "role": "User"}'
