Today's modern web standards are a driving force behind the influx of in-house and vendor products providing RESTful API interfaces. Functionality which was once siloed and proprietary is now being exposed via APIs - allowing us to stitch together and automate many pieces of our infrastructure.

That said, consuming APIs is not for the faint of heart - for a lot of people dealing with headers, bodies, and tokens can be a mind-boggling task. Wrapping a PowerShell module around our exposed APIs can help with this, abstracting away all the traditional API complexities and leaving end-users with more comfortable Verb-Noun cmdlets.

This session will dive into the many ways to develop a PowerShell module around a RESTful API interface. We will discuss everything from the ups and downs of using auto-generating tools such as AutoREST to the advantages and disadvantages of building a custom code around your API endpoints. Attendees will leave with some real-world experience around the different ways to structure and format their own modules when looking to build a PowerShell REST API wrapper module.
