$res = Invoke-RestMethod `

  -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.
