Puppet PowerShell api connection

[Elwin Hidding]

I do not see my last post and cannot find it, so 2nd try.

I am trying to make a connection from PowerShell to the Puppet API.
The CURL example on: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppetdb/2.3/api/query/v3/facts.html shows me this:

curl -X GET http://puppetdb:8080/v3/facts --data-urlencode 'query=["=", "name", "operatingsystem"]'

I can get it to work in PowerShell without the query part with this:

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://puppetdb:8080/v3/facts" -Method Get

Has anyone any knowledge on how i can add the query part?
Looping through the whole output is very time consuming and i want to make use of the query feature to save time.

http://stackoverflow.com/a/17330952 shows how to pass arguments to a POST request, I'd assume that the GET works the same.

 

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://puppetdb:8080/v3/facts" -Method Get -Body @{query='["=", "name", "operatingsystem"]'}
