Cannot connect to API using my powershell script. It looks like it connects but then when it starts running through the AD portion of my script it errors out with this error:


t C:PSAutomationsRCUpdateInfoV3-test.ps1:36 char:17
+ ... $userinfo = Get-ADUser -Filter "UserPrincipalName -eq '$email'" -prop ...
+                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Try add the Content-Type and the Accept headers to each API request.

    # Fetch User info from RC api
    $AllUsers = Invoke-RestMethod ($RC_SERVER_URL + "/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/?perPage=1000") -Headers @{
        Content-Type = "application/json"
        Accept = "application/json"
        Authorization = "Bearer $access_token"
    } -Method Get
