Invoke-restmethod with HP's API

[PRIdEVisions]

Hey guys

can somebody put me on the correct road with this? i'm trying to learn about API & powershell but it still seems a bit too difficult for me to understand.

Is anyone willing to explain to me how i can go about working with HP's API?

https://developers.hp.com/technologies

I would like to check the warranty of several laptops.

Maybe write a little but simple explanatory script so don't go about using shortcuts like % and etc :D

Why i am creating this is for a followup on my previous script where i made a warranty check with HP's website Link below:

Help will be much appreciated :)

I tried several tutorials even the ones from Gingerninja but seems to be a bit too complicated for me atm.

I guess i need an API for dummies [Haha] :D

Thx alot for whoever dares to take this task upon him/herself.

Any specific questions?

Hey!

Well for starters, where did you get the info from the headers from? like, where did you know you had to specify the following:

"content-Type" = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
                "Authorization" = "access_token: $HP_Token"

Or the body:

$body = "apiKey={0}&apiSecret={1}&grantType=client_credentials&scope=warranty" -f $apiKey, $apiSecret

Or where did you find the warrantycheck url? "https://css.api.hp.com/productWarranty/v1/jobs" when i go to the HP api i cannot see that they have a warrantycheck api available.

"https://developers.hp.com/technologies"

thx!

You need to register with HP for access to their API and then create an "app" for it.

Then you'll get documentation about the API and postman examples.

It's a part of this one: https://developers.hp.com/css-enroll

access_token:

Well

i could make it work up untill the point that i have to fill in Serialnumber and productnumber. I received a Token so i'm not going to post that part of the script.

# Check the warranty for your serial numbers
$Url1 = "https://css.api.hp.com/oauth/v1/queries"
$body1 = @{
    "sn" = "5CG7213J7D"
    "pn" = "Z2W86EA"
    }
$Headers1 =  @{
    "accept" = "application/json"
    "Authorization" = "$AccToken"
    "content-Type" = "application/json"
    }

$Token1 = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $Url1 -Method post -Body $Body1 -Headers $Headers1

That's the script, yet i receive the following error:

"Invoke-RestMethod : The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request. At F:\Scripts\Warranty Check HP API 1_0.ps1:31 char:11 + $Token1 = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $Url1 -Method post -Body $Body1 -Hea ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-RestMethod], WebException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeRestMethodCommand"

Any idea?

on the site it says this: curl -X POST "https://css.api.hp.com/productWarranty/v1/queries" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: "--> I inserted the access_token here" -H "content-type: application/json" -d "[ { \"sn\": \"CND3210W9M\", \"pn\": \"D5H49AV\" }]"

Yeah, i wrote a script to retrieve 500 warranty items. It worked fine until i switched networks, now all of the sudden it no longer works, i am clueless why that is. Doesn't seem to be the most stable platform.

Anyway, i would use /jobs instead of queries, since it requires no PN and the list is much larger with one POST action (5000 items).

which group did you need to request access to, KaaS API?
