function Get-MsUpCat { <# .SYNOPSIS Query catalog.update.micrsosoft.com for available updates. .DESCRIPTION Given that there is currently no public API available for the catalog.update.micrsosoft.com site, this command makes HTTP requests to the site and parses the returned HTML for the required data. .PARAMETER Search Specify a string to search for. .PARAMETER SortBy Specify a field to sort the results by. The default sort is by LastUpdated and in descending order. .PARAMETER Descending Switch the sort order to descending. .PARAMETER Strict Force a Search paramater with multiple words to be treated as a single string. .PARAMETER IncludeFileNames Include the filenames for the files as they would be downloaded from catalog.update.micrsosoft.com. This option will cause an extra web request for each update included in the results. It is best to only use this option with a very narrow search term. .PARAMETER AllPages By default the Get-MSCatalogUpdate command returns the first page of results from catalog.update.micrsosoft.com, which is limited to 25 updates. If you specify this switch the command will instead return all pages of search results. This can result in a significant increase in the number of HTTP requests to the catalog.update.micrsosoft.com endpoint. .EXAMPLE Get-MSCatalogUpdate -Search "Cumulative for Windows Server, version 1903" .EXAMPLE Get-MSCatalogUpdate -Search "Cumulative for Windows Server, version 1903" -SortBy "Title" -Descending .EXAMPLE Get-MSCatalogUpdate -Search "Cumulative for Windows Server, version 1903" -Strict .EXAMPLE Get-MSCatalogUpdate -Search "Cumulative for Windows Server, version 1903" -IncludeFileNames .EXAMPLE Get-MSCatalogUpdate -Search "Cumulative for Windows Server, version 1903" -AllPages #> [CmdLetBinding()] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [string] $Search, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [ValidateSet("Title", "Products", "Classification", "LastUpdated", "Size")] [string] $SortBy, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter] $Descending, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter] $Strict, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter] $IncludeFileNames, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter] $AllPages ) try { $ProgPref = $ProgressPreference $ProgressPreference = "SilentlyContinue" $Uri = "https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=$Search" $Res = Invoke-CatalogRequest -Uri $Uri if ($PSBoundParameters.ContainsKey("SortBy")) { $SortParams = @{ Uri = $Uri SortBy = $SortBy Descending = $Descending EventArgument = $Res.EventArgument EventValidation = $Res.EventValidation ViewState = $Res.ViewState ViewStateGenerator = $Res.ViewStateGenerator } $Res = Sort-CatalogResults @SortParams } else { # Default sort is by LastUpdated and in descending order. $SortParams = @{ Uri = $Uri SortBy = "LastUpdated" Descending = $true EventArgument = $Res.EventArgument EventValidation = $Res.EventValidation ViewState = $Res.ViewState ViewStateGenerator = $Res.ViewStateGenerator } $Res = Sort-CatalogResults @SortParams } $Rows = $Res.Rows if ($Strict -and -not $AllPages) { $StrictRows = $Rows.Where({ $_.SelectNodes("td")[1].innerText.Trim() -like "*$Search*" }) # If $NextPage is $null then there are more pages to collect.
