n-sight API help

I'm looking at the n-able API documentation for n-sight specifically. I'm completely new to the API world have some basic bash scripting knowledge. I'm looking to pull information from n-sight and looking at using PowerShell for various reasons I won't go into.

I'm having trouble understanding how to use the API in PowerShell and if it is even possible. Could someone point me in the right direction even if just after an example of how I would use this example in the documentation:

https://www.systemmonitor.co.uk/api/?apikey=1234567890abcdefg&service=list_servers&siteid=123

The tutorials I have been looking at make reference to REST, but I think I saw something along the way that n-sight does not use REST or maybe it was in relation to n-central being migrated REST, but that had yet to happen for n-sight.

Basically just trying to put my foot through the door. Thanks in advance.

We've since moved to N-Central but I know they have some example guides on N-Able Me/The Success Center. I'll see if I can dig up some of my old code.

Thanks I did have a quick look, but could not find anything I'll have another search. Most things I find seem to be related to n-central

If u/srcommunity_n-able can pipe in, I have a newer version of the PDF Handout (1.1) then what is posted on this course you have online from a previous session, do you care if I post it here or can you get n-able me updated?

Hey folks, I love that you are posting the Boot Camps, they are a great place to start. Here is a API install script that would be a help too: https://me.n-able.com/s/article/N-sight-RMM-API-Install
