Get next results with @odata.nextLink field
The value of '@data.nextLink' is the new URI to be used in the subsequent query.
Here's a nonsensical example purely for illustrative purposes, since you'd typically handle batching using one of the loop constructs:
Example
# Perform the initial Graph query where URI has been previously set.
$Response = Invoke-RestMethod -Method $Method -Headers $Headers -Uri $Uri 4> $null;
# Do some stuff here with the initial result set.
# Check if '@odata.nextLink' is present, since if it is, it means we are not finished and should use '@odata.nextLink' as the new value for $Uri.
if ($null -ne $Response.'@odata.nextLink')
{
$Uri = [uri]$Response.'@odata.nextLink';
$Response = Invoke-RestMethod -Method $Method -Headers $Headers -Uri $Uri 4> $null; # Here, you can see that the call format is the same as above, just this time we're using the new URI.
}
# Do some stuff with the next result set, and so on and so forth.

Hi, thanks for the comments, but something is not right here on my side.
When I check the contents of my variable which reads from the API, this is what I get:
Then I use your code, but the variable $uri comes out empty, so it's not being able to get the next link.
When I parse the content, this is when I see the '@odata.nextLink', like shown here:
So it seems the 'odata.nextLink' is the last results from the content, right?
The think is how can I get this value?
You shouldn't be looking for where something is positioned within the content.
What you should be doing is parsing content into it's intended JSON representation using something like:
$Json = $vulnerabilityResponse.Content | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 5;And then accessing the object properties as you would with any object, one of which will be '@odata.nextLink'.
I tend to use Invoke-RestMethod rather than Invoke-WebRequest since it handles the JSON conversion for me.
I can't test against the vulnerabilities endpoint, but there's no reason Invoke-RestMethod should not work if Invoke-WebRequest does where the expected output is JSON.

Hi, I've did that conversion as you said, but I still have the same question. I don't have a property with the "@odata.nextLink". If I parse that new variable $Json, the link it's still there, as you can see here:
So I still need a way to reach that link in order to use it on the next api call. How can I get that link?
And by the way, using Invoke-RestMethod it's the same thing as well.
Thanks
Hi,
I was able to get the link with the Invoke-RestMethod. The code is as it follows:
$vulnerabilityResponse = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri $Vulns -Headers $headers2 -ErrorAction Stop $vulnerabilityResponse.'@odata.nextLink'Thanks for the help and guidance.
