Powershell get Zabbix Hosts via API - powershell

Question

Im trying to use powershell to get host data from the Zabbix API.
I want to get the following columns back for host groups 15, 24, 26:
hostid
host
status
interfaceid
ip
dns
useip
If I use Postman to submit the query, I would submit the following which works:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "host.get",
"params": {
"output": [
"hostid",
"host",
"status"
],
"groupids": [15, 24, 26],
"selectInterfaces": [
"interfaceid",
"ip",
"dns",
"useip"
]
},
"id": 2,
"auth": "xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
}
So far I have the following powershell which returns a lot of information
$params.body = #{
"jsonrpc"= "2.0"
"method"= "host.get"
"params"= #{
output = "extend"
selectHosts = "extend"
}
auth= "xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
id= 2
} | ConvertTo-Json
$result = Invoke-WebRequest #params
Write-Host $result
I'm having trouble understanding how to request only the information I want, I've not done a powershell script like this before so would appreciate any guidance.

You need to build your $params.body with the same fields and options you used in Postman:
$params.body = #{
"jsonrpc"= "2.0"
"method"= "host.get"
"params"= #{
output = #( "host", "hostid", "status" )
selectInterfaces = #( "interfaceid", "ip", "dns", "useip" )
groupids = #( "15", "24", "26")
}
auth = xxxxxxxxxxxxx
id = 2
} | ConvertTo-Json
You should get something like:
hostid host status interfaces
------ ---- ------ ----------
10017 somehost 0 {#{interfaceid=30251; ip=192.168.10.15; dns=; useip=1}}
10051 anotherone 0 {#{interfaceid=12353; ip=10.10.10.20; dns=tanotherone.mydomain.com; useip=1}}
10054 whatisthis 0 {#{interfaceid=43262; ip=172.16.1.20; dns=; useip=1}}
