Splunk Search

Converting Splunk Curl API to Windows Powershell

I have a working script that allows me to retrieve the job ID of a search in Splunk.  This is working in Windows using GNU curl (and is also working --- albeit modified --- in the native Ubuntu Linux version of curl).

I am now trying to take this same approach and run it in Windows Powershell --- unfortunately, I have not yet been successful. Here is what I have so far (working curl version is shown first).

 

curl.exe -k -H "Authorization: Bearer <MYTOKEN>" https://<MYINSTANCE>.splunkcloud.com:8089/services/search/jobs/ --data-urlencode  search='<MYSEARCH>'

============
============

$headers = @{
    "Authorization" = "Bearer <MYTOKEN>"
}
$body = @{
    "search" = "<MYSEARCH>"
}
$response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://<MYINSTANCE>.splunkcloud.com:8089/services/search/jobs/" `
    -Method Post `
    -Headers $headers `
    -ContentType "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" `
    -Body $body `

 

 

Any guidance is appreciated.

@richgalloway Figured it out --- had an extra "`" character at the end.  It is working now.

What error do you get from PowerShell?

I see curl uses the -k option, but PowerShell does not use the equivalent -SkipCertificateCheck option.  Perhaps that is a factor.

@richgalloway I thought the same thing as that did generate an error.  If I simply remove that line, I get the following error:

Incomplete string token.
    + CategoryInfo          : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : IncompleteString
