Mastering Windows PowerShell Scripting - Third Edition

Using basic authentication

Basic authentication with a username and password is the simplest method available:

$params = @{    Uri        = 'https://api.github.com/user/emails'    Credential = Get-Credential}Invoke-RestMethod @params

In PowerShell Core, the Authentication parameter should be added:

$params = @{    Uri            = 'https://api.github.com/user/emails'    Credential     = Get-Credential    Authentication = 'Basic'}Invoke-RestMethod @params
