A hands-on lab working
summary
Live lab uses PowerShell Core (pwsh) and web cmdlets like invoke-restmethod (irm) to hit a demo server at summit.dc.net and a SwaggerHub spec, exercising auth patterns (Basic, API key in query string, Bearer), status codes including 200/400/500 and 429 with automatic retry-after behavior, pagination (22 accounts across 5 pages; follow response.next) and large APIs (Pokemon returns 13,002 items), webhooks to Discord, Microsoft Graph batching, and concrete fixes for Windows PowerShell (manual base64 conversion) and error handling.
