PowerShell: How to prevent truncated string output?

I am trying to do a simple invoke rest method request for my API Authentication, however the bearer token is displaying a truncated output. How do I display the output string entirely?

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -Body $body -uri $uri

access_token
------------

I have tried addting the Out-String on the end but it shows me this error:

Invoke-RestMethod : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'Out-String'.

You can add | Select-Object -ExpandProperty access_token to show the entire string value.

Using Select-Object -ExpandProperty will enumerate the value of the property that you pipe to it and output the value as a single record.

So instead of getting

access_token
------------
abcdefg1234....

you get

abcdefg1234567890

Print the property directly

(Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -Body $body -uri $uri).access_token
