Leveraging Web Services with PowerShell
summary
Claims that REST APIs often expose more functionality than the .NET SDKs and PowerShell modules and then shows working demos: using New-WebServiceProxy for SOAP, Invoke-RestMethod vs Invoke-WebRequest for REST, converting objects with ConvertTo-Json/ConvertFrom-Json (noting the ~2MB/depth limits), building a LightSwitch/ASP.NET Web API backend deployed to Azure, creating a PowerShell module that handles token‑based auth and cert bypass via .NET, and wrapping stateless REST calls into usable typed objects so the demos actually run.
