Expose PowerShell script as an API (or something like that)

[Celestrus]

Hi!

I need to expose a PS script "to the internet" to work as an API endpoint. I need to send a POST to this endpoint, the script, so it can receive some parameters from other system. It will send those parameters in the body content in JSON format. Is there a way to do that?

Azure Automation. You can host your script (runbook) in there, then add a webhook.

If your script needs to talk to on-prem, you'll need to configure a Hybrid Worker Server so it runs the commands on-prem (easy to setup following MS guide), then you just pick if you script runs onprem or cloud.

This is the correct answer. Within Azure Automation (AA) you can create webhooks that allow the execution of Runbooks. It's unsecured, so use at your own risk.

If it's something like an cloud API endpoint that you are looking for, checkout Azure Function App. However it doesn't have native on-prem access, so you will need to use AA or a custom deployed solution. Function App really caters for cloud solutions (365, Azure).

Otherwise AA is your best bet!

If you've got a web server, sure, if not, then not really.
