Device DataSource Instance datapoint historical data using RestAPI v3

Beyond the toolset for exploration, has anyone had any success accessing historical data via the restAPI via powershell at all?  Here’s the kind of thing I’m asking for:
 

https://<ourthing>.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest/device/devices/23387/devicedatasources/1010606/instances/19979217/data

returns:

@{dataSourceName=WinVolumeUsageAzure-; dataPoints=System.Object[]; values=System.Ob
ject[]; time=System.Object[]; nextPageParams=}

It does have data:

@Cole McDonald I personally use Insomnia.rest. It has a local electron app that I use.

While using Curl or Invoke-RestMethod is quick and easy. Sometimes it is just easier to click Go and see the structured data right there.

That’s OK… I don’t need a GUI.  I prefer CLI (1970’s geek).

There are other options. There are other rest clients that let you do rest calls all locally contained within the app or as an extension in your browser.

from postman’s support TSE:
 

I’ve requested explicit statements of this from them as I didn’t find anything in their security documentation about storage locations for different types of data.  I’m paranoid about such things… but have been proven right over and over again throughout my career.  So… I’ll keep poking at it using the powershell code I’ve got.

They are definitely stored in your account in the cloud. I switched PCs and when i logged into postman, my creds were saved there.

The tradeoff is that they don’t state whether your api tokens are stored on device or in the cloud… so when they inevitably get hacked, the bad guys have access to your credentials… and I’ll take a peek through and see what that thread says for me, I know I did a bunch of trying and searching… but if I can’t find a statement of where the data is stored specifically (not just assurances of safety), then I can’t use postman, so it’ll end up as a moot point.

Meh, tradeoffs everywhere. Having postman sync to the cloud makes it so that i never have to start over with postman. All my work is always there, even if i change PCs.

Import collection from URL: https://www.logicmonitor.com/swagger-ui-master/api-v3/dist/swagger.json makes it so that all the documented API calls are available. Set some authentication defaults with bearer tokens on the collection and some collection variables and you should be good to go.

Being able to separate your script from the API call makes a big difference when troubleshooting. Also allows you to very quickly tune your API call to get only what you need.

I assume you’ve seen this:
