Unable to get access code.

Hi there.

I am new to APIs... so I apologize in advance if this is elementary...

I'm using PowerShell to just grab the list of user accounts. Just some pieces of info. I need to do this programmatically instead of logging in every few days to get the list.

If I run the command in the browser (substituted with the correct values), it works just fine, however if I do it via command in PS, it doesn't return anything valuable:

Code: Select all

Invoke-WebRequest "https://auth.bullhornstaffing.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=$clientid&response_type=code&action=Login&username=$APIUSERNAME&password=$APIPassword"

I am returned the following:

Code: Select all

When using a browser, I'm prompted for an accept screen. If I do, I get redirected to another page, but the URL shows the code=, which I assume is followed by the authorization code, which is then used to obtain the OAUTH key.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
