Quickstart: call the Credit Corp public API from PowerShell

Here is the idiomatic PowerShell way to make your first Credit Corp public API call. List the live products from GET /public/v1/products, set a timeout, and turn the documented error envelope into an error you can handle — the pattern every other public-ring call reuses.

List products

$res = Invoke-RestMethod `
  -Uri 'https://api.credicorp.co.uk/public/v1/products' `
  -Headers @{ Accept = 'application/json' } `
  -TimeoutSec 10
$res.data | ForEach-Object { "$($_.name): up to $($_.max_amount)" }

Invoke-RestMethod parses JSON into objects automatically, so you can pipe straight into ForEach-Object. Use it for Windows automation and cross-platform PowerShell scripts.

Use the sandbox in development

Point the base host at https://sandbox.credicorp.co.uk/public/v1 in development and CI, and at https://api.credicorp.co.uk/public/v1 in production, driven by one environment variable. See choosing a base URL.

Next steps

From here, request a quote, submit an enquiry, and send applicants to apply. Handle errors with the shared error envelope.

Frequently asked questions

Invoke-RestMethod or Invoke-WebRequest?

Invoke-RestMethod — it deserialises JSON into objects for you. Invoke-WebRequest returns the raw response, which you would then parse by hand.

How do I handle errors in PowerShell?

Check the status code and read the error object from the body — error.code is the stable machine string to branch on. The pattern is identical across every endpoint.
