Setting Bearer tokens in PowerShell

This is a quick post to put out how to set a Bearer Token using PowerShell for Invoke-RestMethod and Invoke-WebRequest as it was something I could not find a clear explaining post.

This is simply set in the headers of the request as below, where ‘$bearer_token’ is the token’s variable. I have put it in the ‘$headers’ variable, which is then used in the Invoke-RestMethod.

$headers = @{Authorization = "Bearer $bearer_token"}
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -ContentType "$contentType" -Uri $url -Method $method -Headers $headers -UseBasicParsing
