Title: Execute Web POST PowerShell
Author: user
help me write a powershell that executes a web POST to this api: https://autonation.privilegecloud.cyberark.com/PasswordVault/API/Accounts/izaguirrel/Secret/Retrieve/

Sure, I can help you write a PowerShell script to perform a POST request to the given API. Here's a basic example using PowerShell's `Invoke-RestMethod` cmdlet:

```powershell
# Define the API endpoint
$apiUrl = "https://autonation.privilegecloud.cyberark.com/PasswordVault/API/Accounts/izaguirrel/Secret/Retrieve/"

# Define the headers (if any)
$headers = @{
    "Content-Type" = "application/json"
    "Authorization" = "Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
}

# Define the body (if any)
$body = @{
    # Add key-value pairs for the body if needed
    "key1" = "value1"
    "key2" = "value2"
} | ConvertTo-Json

# Perform the POST request
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $apiUrl -Method Post -Headers $headers -Body $body

# Output the response
$response
```

Replace `"Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"` with the appropriate authorization token if required. Also, adjust the `body` content according to the API requirements.

### Explanation:
1. **API Endpoint**: `$apiUrl` contains the URL of the API you want to call.
2. **Headers**: The `$headers` hash table includes any headers required by the API, such as `Content-Type` and `Authorization`.
3. **Body**: The `$body` hash table includes the key-value pairs to be sent in the POST request body. This is converted to JSON using `ConvertTo-Json`.
4. **Invoke-RestMethod**: The `Invoke-RestMethod` cmdlet sends the POST request to the specified URL with the defined headers and body.
5. **Response**: The response from the API is stored in `$response` and then output to the console.

If you need to include additional headers or modify the body structure, you can adjust the script accordingly.
