I am trying to execute the following command in powershell:
curl "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta3/models/text-bison-001:generateText?key=AIzaSyAxHrnH91lSLOeaWs5Rda1_PTn-OnWN9Kg" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST -d '{ "prompt": { "text": "Write a story about a magic backpack"} }'
but receiving the following error:
"System.String" to type "System.Collections.IDictionary".
At line:1 char:140
+ ... SLOeaWs5Rda1_PTn-OnWN9Kg" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Invoke-WebRequest], ParameterBindingException

I tried the following command as some of them said to.
Get-Command curl
----------- ---- ------- ------
Alias curl -> Invoke-WebRequest
but Invoke-WebRequest also did not helped.
From this:
"System.String" to type "System.Collections.IDictionary".
At line:1 char:140
+ ..." -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST ...

It looks like PowerShell's curl doesn't support the same args as Linux's curl.
I would either switch to WSL to use real curl, or use native PowerShell like so:
Invoke-RestMethod `
-Method POST `
-Uri "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta3/models/text-bison-001:generateText?key=DO_NOT_SHARE_YOUR_KEY_ON_THE_INTERNET_EVER" `
-Body '{ "prompt": { "text": "Write a story about a magic backpack"} }' `
-ContentType "application/json"
