How to upload files to anonfiles with powershell

So i'm kinda new to powershell and want to make a simple script that will upload the chosen file to anonyfiles. The thing i'm having problems with is uploading to the api i have managed to upload it through cmd but now i'm hoping i can do it through powershell.

The command i used to upload the files through cmd is:

curl -F "file=@C:\Eclips-Terminal\Websites.csv" https://api.anonfiles.com/upload

To re-state it:

URLS:

all help is welcome.

In powershell curl is an alias for Invoke-WebRequest.

get-alias curl

CommandType     Name                                               Version    Source                   
-----------     ----                                               -------    ------                   
Alias           curl -> Invoke-WebRequest

You can still run any executable in powershell that you can run in cmd, just specify the executable.

curl.exe -F "file=@C:\Eclips-Terminal\Websites.csv" https://api.anonfiles.com/upload?token=<YOUR API KEY>

You will notice text in red, that's not an error but rather the way curl.exe writes it's progress to stderr stream which in powershell shows up in red. I have no doubt there is a switch/parameter you can use on curl.exe to omit this progress output but a simple way is to pipe stderr to $null.

curl.exe -F "file=@C:\Eclips-Terminal\Websites.csv" https://api.anonfiles.com/upload?token=<YOUR API KEY> 2>$null

Finally, if you capture the remaining output to a variable then you can extract your short url from it.

$output = curl.exe -F "file=@C:\Eclips-Terminal\Websites.csv" https://api.anonfiles.com/upload?token=<YOUR API KEY> 2>$null

($output | ConvertFrom-Json).data.file.url.short
