Invoke-AutomateAPIMaster : An error has been thrown.

Sorry for the duplicate issue, but I'm having the same problem as Issue #67 . I'm running the powershell commands from a workstation, not my Automate server if that helps. Full log from powershell:

If this needs to be run directly on the Automate server, I'm waiting for a maintenance window to restart the server after upgrading powershell from v4. The Powershell version was too low to run Install-Module commands. We also self-host and are using control plugin, not a separate control server if that matters at all.

The initial error from Invoke-AutomateAPIMaster.ps1 is getting hung up on line 75: $Result = Invoke-WebRequest @arguments

I'm not entirely sure what all goes into the @arguments field. Some direction there might help troubleshoot why it's throwing an error.

Does the api require both the Automate server and control server to both be on https? My setup is still using HTTP for the control server.

Disregard, you can close this Issue. If anyone finds this in the future, you get this error with an invalid API key.
