How to modify data in a format-table result? - powershell

Question

Trying to make a powershell script that tracks link clicks.
I have three goals:
change destination to name
Filter out destinations that are not a file type
Only display name of file, not the URL or extension
# Set the API key and endpoint
$apiKey = "API-KEY"
$endpoint = "https://api.rebrandly.com/v1/links?&limit=100"
# Make the API call and store the response
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Method GET -Uri $endpoint -Headers #{ "apikey" = $apiKey } | Format-Table -Property clicks, destination
$response
clicks destination
------ -----------
11 https://github.com/file1.ps1
4 https://github.com/file2.ps1
2 https://github.com/main.zip
1 https://www.instagram.com
Desired Result
clicks destination
------ -----------
11 file1
4 file2
2 main

Answer 1

Format-Table doesn't perform collection filtering hence is not the right cmdlet for this use case. Also, for 2 property objects, it is not needed at all since default formatting output will be a table by default for objects with 4 properties or less.
Invoke-RestMethod -Method GET -Uri $endpoint -Headers #{ "apikey" = $apiKey } | ForEach-Object {
$lastSegment = ($_.destination -as [uri]).Segments | Select-Object -Last 1
if([System.IO.Path]::GetExtension($lastSegment)) {
[pscustomobject]#{
Clicks = $_.Clicks
Name = [System.IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($lastSegment)
}
}
}

This is a modification of Santiagos answer.
I couldn't quite get his to work.
I'm sure this can be optimized however.
$apiKey = "API-KEY"
$endpoint = "https://api.rebrandly.com/v1/links?&limit=100"
$r = Invoke-RestMethod -Method GET -Uri $endpoint -Headers #{ "apikey" = $apiKey }
ForEach($l in $r){$s = ($l.destination -as [uri]).Segments[-1]
if([System.IO.Path]::GetExtension($s)) {
[pscustomobject]#{
Clicks = $l.Clicks
Name = [System.IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($s)
}
}
}
