# Set server login variables
$serverName = "serverName"
$apiKey = "your client id"
$userName = "CSDAdmin"
$password = "CSDAdmin"
$baseUri = "https://${serverName}/CherwellAPI/"

# Get an access token
$tokenUri = $baseUri + "token"
$authMode = "Internal"
$tokenRequestBody =
@{
    "Accept" = "application/json";
    "grant_type" = "password";
    "client_id" = $apiKey;
    "username" = $userName;
    "password"= $password
}
$tokenResponse = Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -Uri "${tokenUri}?auth_mode=${authMode}&api_key=${apiKey}" -Body $tokenRequestBody

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

$busObId = $summaryResults[0].busobId
