Invoke-RestMethod from multiple URLs from text file

Question

Need help with PowerShell script with Invoke-RestMethod through several links from text file:

What I have not and works for single site:

$username = 'username'
$password = 'password'
$accept = 'application/xml'
$uri = 'https://example.com/ping/id/31'
$headers = @{
    "Accept"=$accept
}
$secpwd = ConvertTo-SecureString $password -AsPlainText -Force
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($username, $secpwd)
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri $uri -Headers $headers -Credential $credential

However need to do this for multiple links. Any suggestions how accomplish this?

Assuming you want to use the same username and password and such for each URL, try something like this:

$username = 'username'
$password = 'password'
$accept = 'application/xml'
$headers = @{
    "Accept"=$accept
}
$secpwd = ConvertTo-SecureString $password -AsPlainText -Force
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($username, $secpwd)
Get-Content .\file_with_one_url_per_line | ForEach-Object { Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri $_ -Headers $headers -Credential $credential }

The ForEach-Object cmdlet will do whatever's in the code block you give it for each line in the file, replacing $_ with the line.

Thank you very much! this worked perfectly! sorry can upvote dont have enough rep :) — user3360847, Jul 09 '20 at 13:17
