Powershell - Invoke-WebRequest

[MatthewL]

I am looking to create a powershell script (open to other methods if better), I will admit my scripting skills are rubbish.

 

If I use Invoke-WebRequest command and point it to http://ip-api.com/json/ it gives various information.

 

What I want to do is export the ISP and create a system variable with that so we can then run another script if ISP = xyz then deploy file to devices at home or if ISP = xyz create a text file c:\ispistrue.txt for example.

 

I was initially looking to dump IP then look that up which is a bigger task so if I can get the ISP that would help.

 

Any assistance would be welcome, thanks.

$Wcl = new-object System.Net.WebClient
$Wcl.Headers.Add(“user-agent”, “PowerShell Script”)
$Wcl.Proxy.Credentials = [system.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultNetworkCredentials

$a = invoke-webrequest "http://ip-api.com/json" | convertFrom-Json | select isp
write-output $a.isp
if ($a.isp -eq "Exa Networks Limited") {
   new-item -Path "C:\" -name "ispistrue.txt" -itemtype "File"
}
else {
   remove-item "c:\ispistrue.txt"
}

(Invoke-RestMethod http://ip-api.com/json/).isp

 

Should do what you want

Mavhc that doesn't seem to work, even changing the name to say Virgin Media as mine is displayed.

 

Chaplic that works, just need to output to a file but name is the same as output before any spaces i.e. my ISP is Virgin Media want it to save as virgin.txt or plusnet.txt if you get me.

$ISP = (Invoke-RestMethod http://ip-api.com/json/).isp

$ISP | out-file -filepath c:\temp\$ISP.txt

mahcv approach is probably better in terms of structure and figuring out what you did in 6 months time, but lets go with the single line

 

 

"hello" | add-content -path $((((Invoke-RestMethod http://ip-api.com/json/).isp) -replace '\s','') + ".txt")

Thanks for the quick replies, I can work with them I think, now do so some testing out there and see the results!

So far so good, thanks for the quick replies to this earlier.

Just going back to this, worked for that I need but now need to grab the external IP which works with:

 

(Invoke-RestMethod http://ip-api.com/json/).isp Gives ISP

(Invoke-RestMethod http://ip-api.com/json/).query Gives IP address

 

Just cannot see to get the both i.e. isp.IPaddress

 

Any thoughts.

$details = (Invoke-RestMethod http://ip-api.com/json/)

$details

$details.isp

$details.query

 

$IPandISP = $details.isp + "." + $details.query

$IPandISP

Cheers for that.
