Extract HTTP response json value to variable

piyush_annadate

Hi,

I'm new here and got some different code which is working. I have a rest call that provides and count - json like below. I would like to know how to get below into an variable. And also later to use this variable in the ScriptOut put status code.

REST API OUTPUT:

{"count":1883}


Code:

$website = $args[0]; 
 $creds = Get-Credential ${creds}

$user = $creds.GetNetworkCredential().UserName
$pass = $creds.GetNetworkCredential().Password
# Build auth header
$base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $user, $pass)))

# Set proper headers
$headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"
$headers.Add('Authorization',('Basic {0}' -f $base64AuthInfo))
$headers.Add('Accept','application/json')


# Specify endpoint uri

# Specify HTTP method
$method = "get"

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = "tls12, tls11, tls"

# Send HTTP request
$response =Invoke-RestMethod -Headers $headers -Method $method -Uri $website |  select count
# Print response

return $response

if ($response -eq 1883) {

   Write-Host "Equal"

     }

else { Write-Host "NOT EQUAL"};

OUTPUT:

Output: ==============================================

count
-----
1883

Its an old post but I think has what you want.

Your script exit code will provide status to Orion for the component, and in the script, you can have pairs of Messages and Statistics (its either 5 or 10 per component) and you can reply with just the stat. I could be wrong, but replacing the return $response with the line below should give you that, just add an exit code also.

Write-host "Statistic: $response"
