PowerShell is a handy tool for testing REST API endpoints directly from your terminal, streamlining backend development and reducing the need to constantly switch between your terminal and browser.
Using PowerShell scripts, you can automate authentication and endpoint tests in one run. These scripts display both pass/fail statuses and response bodies for quick feedback.
The core command to make an API request is:
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "<API_URL>" -Method Get -Headers @{Authorization = "Bearer $TOKEN"}
