Cause

If you use umlauts in a Invoke-RestMethod with JSON then the error can occurs For example:

''Invoke-RestMethod -UseBasicParsing -Uri "https://YourURL" -Headers $header -Body $JSON -ContentType application/json -Method Post''

Solution

• Add following encoding to your JSON-Object -> ([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($JSON))

For example:

''Invoke-RestMethod -UseBasicParsing -Uri "https://YourURL" -Headers $header -Body ([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($JSON)) -ContentType application/json -Method Post''
