Get-NBRequestHeaders

Since

v4.5.2.0

SYNOPSIS

Get standard request headers for Netbox API calls

SYNTAX

Get-NBRequestHeaders [[-Branch] <String>] [-SkipBranchContext] [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Returns a hashtable containing the Authorization header (with proper v1/v2 token format) and optionally the X-NetBox-Branch header if a branch context is active.

This function centralizes header construction to ensure consistent authentication and branch context handling across all API request functions.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

$headers = Get-NBRequestHeaders Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $uri -Headers $headers

EXAMPLE 2

``` $headers = Get-NBRequestHeaders -Branch "abc123"

Uses explicit branch instead of stack context

```

EXAMPLE 3

``` $headers = Get-NBRequestHeaders -SkipBranchContext

Only returns Authorization header, no branch context

```

Optional explicit branch schema_id to use instead of the stack context
