Reddit API Authentication Function

I had wrote this a while ago, since authenticating always seems to be half the battle for me. I realize now I wrote this before I knew about creating hash tables and just adding them to a new-object rather than manually adding members:

function Get-RedditToken { $user = "user" $password = "password" $clientID = "clientID" $clientSecret = ConvertTo-SecureString "secret" -AsPlainText -Force $creds = New-Object -TypeName System.management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $clientID, $clientSecret $credentials = @{ grant_type = "password" username = $user password = $password } $env:token = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri "https://www.reddit.com/api/v1/access_token" -Body $credentials -ContentType 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' -Credential $creds } function Get-RedditUser { param( [string]$username, [switch]$info ) if (!($token)) {Get-RedditToken} $header = @{ authorization = $token.token_type + " " + $token.access_token } if ($info) {$accinfo = (Invoke-RestMethod -uri "https://oauth.reddit.com/user/$username/about" -Headers $header -UserAgent "Powershell Test").data $acccreate = (Get-Date -date 1.1.1970).AddSeconds(($accinfo.created)) $pc = New-Object -TypeName PSObject $pc | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Account Name" -Value ($accinfo.name) $pc | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Link Karma" -Value ($accinfo.link_karma) $pc | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Comment karma" -Value ($accinfo.comment_karma) $pc | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Combined karma" -Value (($accinfo.comment_karma) + ($accinfo.link_karma)) $pc | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Account Created" -Value ($acccreate) $pc | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Gilded" -Value ($accinfo.is_gold) $pc | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Mod" -Value ($accinfo.is_mod) $pc } else { (Invoke-RestMethod -uri "https://oauth.reddit.com/user/$username" -Headers $header -UserAgent "Powershell Test").data.children.data } }
