Is there a way to call the Management API, for an Endpoint API? I’m getting an “Internal Server Error 500” when attempting this.
Can you provide an example of what you are trying to do? Are you specifying an app token and computer name\url?
Here’s the code for the endpoint
New-PSUEndpoint -Url '/Cycle-Dev-Site/:action/:site' -Method 'GET' -Authentication -Role 'ITSM_DEV' -Endpoint {
#region CONSTANTS
$Action = $Action
$site = $site
#$Site = 'DEV'
#$id = 9
#endregion
#region FUNCTIONS
Function Stop-Dashboard {
Param (
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true, HelpMessage='ID of the site')]
[int] $Id
)
Invoke-WebRequest -Method Delete -Uri $uri -Credential $Credential
}
Function Start-Dashboard {
Param (
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true, HelpMessage='ID of the site')]
[int] $Id
)
$uri = '{0}/dashboard/{1}/status' -f $PSPUApiRoot,$Id
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Put -Uri $uri -Credential $Credential
}
Function Get-DashboardId {
Param (
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true, HelpMessage='Name of the site')]
[String] $Site
)
$uri = '{0}/dashboard' -f $PSPUApiRoot
$dbs = Invoke-RestMethod -ContentType 'text/json' -Method get -Uri $uri -Credential $Credential
$id = $dbs | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq $Site} | ForEach-Object {$_.Id}
if ($id) {
$id
}
Else {
Write-Error -Message 'Site not found'
return
}
}
#endregion
#region VARIABLES
$id = Get-DashboardId -Site $site
$PSPUApiRoot = 'https://myserver.name.local/api/v1'
$uri = '{0}/dashboard/{1}/status' -f $PSPUApiRoot,$Id
$rootDir = 'C:\Universal\Dashboards\ITSM'
$Credential = (Invoke-CredentialManager -FilePath ('{0}\resources\credentials\adAdminCreds.auth' -f $rootDir) -ReturnCredObject)
#endregion
#region MAIN
If ($Action -eq 'Start') {
Start-Dashboard -Id $id
}
ElseIf ($Action -eq 'Stop') {
Stop-Dashboard -Id $id
}
Else {
'Invalid action provided'
}
#endregion
}Can you do me a favor and check the logs in %ProgramData%\PowerShellUniversal? It should provide a better error message than just 500.
Should be after your Credential definition? 
Nice catch. Still doesn’t work, even with $ID statically configured. Thanks though.
So I’ve upgraded to the latest stable version, and no longer receive the error 500, but still nothing happens.

Alright. I had to give this a good play but I have it working. You need to call the signin URL and establish a web session before calling the other endpoints when using basic auth. I’ve created a Get-WebSession function that does this. You’ll just need to integrate that with your session store. What this is doing is logging in and then getting a cookie that it’s using with the other calls.
