$apiKey = "your client id"
$userName = "CSDAdmin"
$password = "CSDAdmin"

# Get an access token
$tokenUri = $baseUri + "token"
$authMode = "Internal"
$tokenRequestBody =
@{

# Get the business object summary for Incident. This will give us the busObId
$summaryUri = $baseUri + "api/V1/getbusinessobjectsummary/busobname/Incident"

# Get the search items (saved queries) with association of Incident from the Global scope
$searchUri = $baseUri + "api/V1/getsearchitems/association/${busObId}/scope/Global"
$searchResponse = Invoke-RestMethod -Method GET -Uri $searchUri -ContentType application/json -Header $requestHeader
