NBA powershell broken

[zag2me]

Now that the season has restarted, looks like there is an error with the NBA.com API.

PS C:> .\nba.ps1 Invoke-WebRequest : Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://stats.nba.com/stats/scoreboard/?" on this server. Reference #18.1e6f5668.1478959690.724c4e8 At C:\nba.ps1:38 char:17

Some info and possible fix here, something about setting the referal header. I wonder if thats even possible in Powershell?

Fixed, pull the latest version.

Getting a new error now

What version of powershell are you using? (type $psversiontable in your powershell console) it works on mine, Windows 10,powershell 5.1.

Windows 2008 so Powershell 3.0

I'm guessing it can't do that.

I'll investigate upgrading.

Can you add the following between line 11 and 12 and send me the output?

$websession return

output.

Headers : {} Cookies : System.Net.CookieContainer UseDefaultCredentials : False Credentials : Certificates : UserAgent : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB) WindowsPowerShell/3.0 Proxy : MaximumRedirection : -1

No go on the upgrade unfortunately. This page seems to indicate 3.0 is the last Powershell version available for 2008 :(

I'm guessing the function was introduced in 4.0

Should be moving to a new 2016 server soon so I will get this up and running as soon as possible ;)
