curl --data-binary in PowerShell

Question

If I have a curl command such as:

curl <url> \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'API-Key: <key>' \
  --data-binary '{"blah":"blah {\n  blah2(accountId: id, integrations: {int1: {Vms: [{Id: id2, resourceGroups: [\"test1\", \"test2\", \"test3\"]}]}}) {\n    integrations {\n      id\n      name\n      service {\n        id\n        slug\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}\n", "variables":""}'

What would be the equivalent to --data-binary within Powershell? Some answer stated just running curl.exe, others mentioned to change the content-type. This does work as a shell script fine though. Just wondering if its possible to convert it to use Invoke-WebRequest within Powershell.

Use either `Invoke-RestMethod` or `Invoke-WebRequest` with the `-InFile` parameter. — Maximilian Burszley, Oct 02 '18 at 18:55
I'm not reading from a file though- just inline json being sent with `--data-binary` — nobrac, Oct 02 '18 at 19:06
Will sending a JSON body work? You can use the `-Body` parameter. — Maximilian Burszley, Oct 02 '18 at 19:07
The `-Body` parameter seems to not care about being binary or not- works as expected, though it does require specific escape characters- thanks for the feedback! — nobrac, Oct 02 '18 at 21:02

Please flesh this out in more detail to help future readers, including explaining what specific escape characters you had to use. – mklement0 Oct 03 '18 at 00:30
