PowerShell 7.3 - guide with Asynchronous HTTP Requests Using Invoke-RestMethod and Handling Response Data
I keep running into I need help solving I'm trying to make multiple asynchronous HTTP requests in PowerShell 7.3 using `Invoke-RestMethod` for a REST API that returns JSON data. The goal is to fetch data from multiple endpoints simultaneously and then process that data once all requests are completed. However, I'm running into issues where the requests don't seem to be completing as expected, and I sometimes get partial responses or timeouts. Here's a simplified version of what I have been trying: ```powershell $urls = 'https://api.example.com/data1', 'https://api.example.com/data2', 'https://api.example.com/data3' $tasks = @() foreach ($url in $urls) { $tasks += Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method Get -AsJob } # Wait for all jobs to complete $tasks | Wait-Job | Receive-Job ``` When I run this code, I occasionally receive the following behavior: `Invoke-RestMethod : The remote server returned an behavior: (500) Internal Server behavior.`. I'm unsure if this is due to rate limiting on the API side or if it's something specific in my PowerShell script. I've tried adding a delay between requests using `Start-Sleep`, but it doesn't seem to resolve the scenario. I've also considered using the `-ThrottleLimit` parameter with `ForEach-Object`, but I need to maintain the asynchronous nature of the requests. Any guidance on how to properly handle multiple asynchronous requests in PowerShell while ensuring that I get valid responses would be greatly appreciated. Are there any best practices for managing this scenario, or should I consider using a different approach? I'm open to any suggestions.
