Powershell with the Couchbase REST API

PowerShell is a versatile scripting environment available on Windows, Linux, and within Azure, offering an effective alternative to tools like Postman or Fiddler for automating HTTP requests. This article demonstrates how PowerShell can be used to automate the creation and management of Full Text Search (FTS) indexes in Couchbase Server using its REST API, providing a detailed comparison between using curl and PowerShell's `Invoke-WebRequest` for these tasks. While curl commands can be directly utilized, PowerShell offers a different syntax, necessitating specific adjustments, especially for headers and authentication, where Base64 encoding is required. The article also notes the practicalities of automating FTS index creation, highlighting the benefits of using PowerShell for these repetitive tasks in deployment and version control settings, and it provides a foundational script example for users to adopt and adapt.
