scenarios when using Invoke-RestMethod with OAuth 2.0 bearer token in PowerShell 7.2
Quick question that's been bugging me - I'm converting an old project and I'm upgrading from an older version and I'm a bit lost with I'm maintaining legacy code that I'm trying to use `Invoke-RestMethod` in PowerShell 7.2 to call a REST API that requires an OAuth 2.0 bearer token for authorization..... The API endpoint is returning a 401 Unauthorized behavior, even though I believe the token is valid. I generated the bearer token successfully and it appears correct when I print it to the console. Here's the code I'm using to make the request: ```powershell $token = 'YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE' $headers = @{ 'Authorization' = "Bearer $token" } $uri = 'https://api.example.com/data' $response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Method Get -Headers $headers $response ``` When I execute this code, I get the following behavior: ``` Invoke-RestMethod : The remote server returned an behavior: (401) Unauthorized. ``` I also tried to make a request using Postman with the same bearer token and it works fine, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong in PowerShell. I've verified that the token is not expired and does not contain any unexpected characters. Additionally, I've looked into setting the `-SkipCertificateCheck` flag since the API uses TLS, but that didn't seem to affect the outcome. I've also checked if the API has CORS issues, but since I controlled both environments while testing, that doesn't seem to be the case. Can anyone guide to troubleshoot what might be going wrong with my API call? Are there any common pitfalls when using `Invoke-RestMethod` with bearer tokens that I might be missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! I appreciate any insights! My development environment is Windows 10. Any feedback is welcome! Any feedback is welcome!
