Get-TfsRestClient
[-TypeName] <string>
[-Collection <object>]
[-Server <object>]
Description
Connection objects (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.Client.VssConnection in PowerShell Core, Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.TfsTeamProjectCollection in Windows PowerShell) provide access to many HTTP client objects such as Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.WebApi.WorkItemTrackingHttpClient that wrap many of the REST APIs exposed by Azure DevOps. Those clients inherit the authentication information supplied by their parent connection object and can be used as a more convenient mechanism to issue API calls.
