Exchange Online REST API
REST is enabled by default. Are you providing an access token as part of the request? Do you have the necessary permissions to access the endpoint you are trying to (assuming you are using /user@domain.com/contacts)?
Hello,
I tried it with:
iwr "https://outlook.office.com/api/v2.0/me/calendarview?startDateTime=2018-05-01T01:00:00&endDateTime=2018-10-31T23:00:00" -Credential $(Get-Credential)
And the result is:
iwr : The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

You cannot pass credentials directly. You need to get a token and pass that token via an auth header. The documentation on that is here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/rest/get-started
