how to recreate a working CURL command with Invoke-WebRequest in Powershell

Question

This curl command works as desired:

curl -H \"X-Api-Key:j65k423lj4k2l3fds\" `
     -X PUT `
     -d \"alerts_enabled=true\" `
        https://some/working/fi         


        

Answer 1

got it to work natively using invoke-webrequest. powershell guru here at work helped me out. Switched to the New Relic API version 2 (available at https://rpm.newrelic.com/api/explore), which uses JSON instead of xml, and made some sytax tweaks.

$json = @"{"alert_policy":[{"enabled":"true"}]"@

$headers = @{}
$headers["X-Api-Key"] = "j65k423lj4k2l3fds"

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://some/working/file.json" -Body $json -ContentType "application/json" -Headers $headers -Method Post
