Not getting proper response from API

[chenna123 (chenna)]

Hi,

I'm facing an issue with API, following these below line to invoke API from Powershell and expecting json response but I'm getting HTML response instead.

API - http://xxxxxxxxx/api/saved_objects/_find?type=dashboard&search_fields=title&search=Image*

1. Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri $Url -ContentType "application/json" -Credential $credential
2. Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri $Url -Headers @{"content-type" = "application/json"} -Credential $credential

Please help me to get json response.

Thanks in advance.

Chenna

hi @chenna123,

Maybe you are getting an error-page from the server (e.g. a 404 or 500)?

When I'm running that API-call, it seems OK.

e.g. with sample-data loaded, I get something like:

{
"page": 1,
"per_page": 20,
"total": 13,
"saved_objects": [
