StackOverflow reputation using PowerShell

Question

How can I view my reputation with a PowerShell function ?

Answer 1

You can use the following function

Function Get-StackOverFlowReputation {
param($userID)
    $client = new-object System.Net.WebClient
    $JSONFlair = $client.DownloadString("http://stackoverflow.com/users/flair/$userid.json")
    $JSONFlair.split(",") | select-string "reputation","displayName"
}


260 >  Get-StackOverFlowReputation -userID 45571

"displayName":"Andy Schneider"
"reputation":"344"

It's quick and dirty. I am sure you could use some nifty library to convert JSON to a PSobject but this will get the job done.
