Does anyone know if it's possible to convert the curl command used to trigger builds in Gitlab-CI to a Powershell equivalent using Invoke-RestMethod?
Example curl command:
curl --request POST \
--form token=TOKEN \
--form ref=master \
--form "variables[UPLOAD_TO_S3]=true" \
https://gitlab.example.com/api/v3/projects/9/trigger/builds
This was taken from Gitlab's documentation page.
I found quite a few postings about converting a curl script for Powershell but I haven't had any luck in getting it to work. Here are some of the links I referenced:
How to send multipart/form-data with PowerShell Invoke-RestMethod
PowerShell equivalent of curl
Running curl via powershell - how to construct arguments?
Any help would be appreciated.
You can pass the token and the branch parameters directly in the URL. As for variables, putting it into the body variable should do the trick.
$Body = #{
"variables[UPLOAD_TO_S3]" = "true"
}
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v3/projects/9/trigger/builds?token=$Token&ref=$Ref" -Body $Body
Alternatively you can pass all arguments in the body parameter:
$form = #{token = $CI_JOB_TOKEN;ref = $BRANCH_TO_BUILD; "variables[SERVER_IMAGE_TAG]" = $CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME}
Invoke-WebRequest -Method POST -Body $form -Uri https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/602/trigger/pipeline -UseBasicParsing

I have a working cURL statement that takes the contents of a .csv file and posts them to a REST endpoint:
curl \
'https://app.sleuth.io/api/1/deployments/<ORG_SLUG>/<DEPLOYMENT_SLUG>/import_deploys' \
-H 'Authorization: apikey <APIKEY>' \
-F 'csv_file=#<FILENAME>.csv'
I am trying to convert it to PowerShell format, but can't seem to get there.
I am fairly new to APIs, so I've been using the Curl2PS tool for translating cURL commands to PowerShell, and it worked fairly well with other types, but it struggles with the -F (--form) parameter. This is what I get when I input the above cURL statement:
WARNING: The parameter '-F' is not yet supported. Please refer to curl man pages: https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri 'https://app.sleuth.io/api/1/deployments/<ORG_SLUG>/<DEPLOYMENT_SLUG>/import_deploys' -Verbose:$false -Headers #{
'Authorization' = 'apikey <APIKEY>'
}
It basically only does a partial job at converting the statement and skips the -F part completely, leaving it blank.
After some googling I tried using the -Infile method, but I probably did it wrong (again, noob here):
Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -Uri 'https://app.sleuth.io/api/1/deployments/<ORG_SLUG>/<DEPLOYMENT_SLUG>/import_deploys'-Verbose -Headers #{
'Authorization' = 'apikey <APIKEY>'
'Content-Type' = 'multipart/form-data'
} -Infile '<FILENAME>.csv'
Unfortunately, I get a Bad Request (400) error.
I tried googling for a solution, but couldn't really find one, so any input here would be much appreciated.
I had to send a POST request to a Cloud Platform including a zipped csv file. At the moment I´m using Postman for this, and it goes all correctly. On the Webserver it is not possible to install Postman, so I have to use Powershell for this. I have a problem to find out how the body is to insert in the script:
The Correct Postman post - on the "Code snippet" - with CURL Postman says i have to make it like this:
curl --location --request POST 'https://api.../v..../xxx.csv' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' \
--header 'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: xxxxxx' \
--data-binary '....../brunico.zip'**
on Postman the Code snippet for Powershell ist not fully described, for the body is written: ...file contents here...
$headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"
$headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/octet-stream")
$headers.Add("Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key", "xxxxxx")
$body = "<file-contents-here>"***
$response = Invoke-RestMethod 'https://api.../v..../xxx.csv' -Method 'POST' -Headers $headers -Body $body
$response | ConvertTo-Json**
how do I insert the zip file in the body?
I'm trying to post to a Wazuh server using the following guidance:
https://documentation.wazuh.com/3.x/user-manual/api/reference.html#add-agent
This is the CURL equivalent:
curl -u foo:bar -k -X POST -d '{"name":"NewHost","ip":"10.0.0.9"}' -H 'Content-Type:application/json' "https://127.0.0.1:55000/agents?pretty"
This is what I've come up using Powershell:
Invoke-WebRequest -Body "{name:'newhost',ip:'10.0.0.9'}" -Uri "http://$($WAZUHSERVER):55000/agents?pretty" -Method Post -Credential $MyCredential -ContentType 'application/json'
I keep getting "Invalid Request Body".
I tried alternating with a hash table. No dice. I should mention that I dont have SSL configured so that part is irrelevant.
Found it.
'{"name":"newhost","ip":"10.0.0.0"}'
Using this one as a body worked out perfectly.
I'm using Powershell v4.
I am calling a POST API and want to see the response when I run Invoke-RestMethod but it just shows a new line.
How can I output the response from the API to the console? I have tried running it in a script with Write-Host and Write-Output, but nothing appears on the console screen.
PowerShell script:
$Response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://localhost:8081/myAPI -Body '{"username":"xyz","password":"xyz"}' -ContentType application/json -Method POST
Write-Host $Response
I can see the response when I curl the API but cannot see it in my PowerShell script which I need to use.
CURL
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"username":"xyz","password":"xyz"}' https://localhost:8081/myAPI
It looks like its not even hitting the API as nothing appears in the API logs when triggering from Powershell. Not sure how to resolve that if that is the problem.
Your command has a syntax error. Your contenttype is not in proper format.
You have:
-ContentType application/json
Change it to:
-ContentType "application/json"
I'm trying to run a powershell script to perform an invoke-webrequest using the -ContentType multi-part/form-data parameter.
I have an example of a working curl command and need to convert it to powershell.
curl -v -u user#yourcompany.com:test -F "helpdesk_ticket[attachments][][resource]=#/path/to/attachment1.ext" -F "helpdesk_ticket[attachments][][resource]=#/path/to/attachment2.ext" -F "helpdesk_ticket[email]=example#example.com" -F "helpdesk_ticket[subject]=Ticket Title" -F "helpdesk_ticket[description]=this is a sample ticket" -X POST https://domain.webaddress.com/helpdesk/tickets.json
I have tried to do this with hash tables but having no luck.
So far I have:
$body = #{"helpdesk_ticket[attachments][][resource]"="$/path/to/attachment.ext";"helpdesk_ticket[email]"="example#example.com"; "helpdesk_ticket[subject]"="Ticket Title"; "helpdesk_ticket[description]"="this is a sample ticket"}
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://domain.webaddress.com/helpdesk/tickets.json -Headers $FSHeaders -ContentType multi-part/form-data -Body $Body -Method POST
The error returned suggests the data in the body is incorrect as authentication (hidden in the header variable) is correct.
