# PowerShell Integration with Openprovider API If you are interested in accessing and using the Openprovider API via PowerShell, you can find useful information here. ## Authenticating to the Openprovider API via PowerShell The Openprovider API uses Bearer authentication. You authenticate once with your username and password and are given a bearer code. You then use the bearer code for the rest of your API calls. Here is an example of what this looks like in PowerShell: ```powershell function Get-BearereCreds { $EndPoint = "https://api.openprovider.eu/v1beta/auth/login" ##Configure Payload $Body = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]" $Body.Add("ip","0.0.0.0") $Body.Add("username","UsernameHere") $Body.Add("password","PasswordPlease") $Body = $Body | ConvertTo-Json $Bearer = (Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri $EndPoint -body $Body -ContentType 'application/json' ).data return $Bearer } $Bearer = Get-BearereCreds ``` Keep in mind that the bearer code expires after a set time. When you want to perform scheduled tasks or tasks that take a long time, you will need to periodically request a new bearer code. ## Checking the status of domain registration via PowerShell Here is an example of how to request the status of a domain registration: ``` function Get-BearereCreds

{

$EndPoint = "https://api.openprovider.eu/v1beta/auth/login"

##Configure Payload

$Body = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"

$Body.Add("ip","0.0.0.0")

$Body.Add("username","UsernameHere")

$Body.Add("password","PasswordHerePlease")

$Body = $Body | ConvertTo-Json

$Bearer = (Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri $EndPoint -body $Body -ContentType 'application/json' ).data

return $Bearer

}

function check-domain

{

Param(

[parameter(Mandatory=$true)]

[String]$Domains

)

$uri = "https://api.openprovider.eu/v1beta/domains/check"

$DomlistArray = @()

$bearcreds = Get-BearereCreds

$IdnScript = [pscustomobject]@{

idn_scrypt = "cyrl"}

Foreach ($Domain in $Domains)

{

$TLD = $Domain.Substring($Domain.IndexOf(".") + 1)

$DomName = ($domain.Split("."))[0]

$Domlist = [pscustomobject]@{

extension = $TLD

name = $DomName}

$DomListArray = $DomListArray + $DomList

}

$DomBody = [pscustomobject]@{

additional_data = $IdnScript

application_mode = "preregistration"

domains = $DomListArray

with_price = $true }

$DomBodyJson = $DomBody | ConvertTo-Json

$Bearer = Get-BearereCreds

$Domheader = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"

$Domheader.Add("Authorization","Bearer " + $bearcreds.token)

$Result = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri $uri -Headers $Domheader -body $DomBodyJson -ContentType 'application/json'

return $Result.data.results
