To get the links present on the website using PowerShell, we can first retrieve the data from the webpage using the Invoke-WebRequest cmdlet.
$req = Invoke-WebRequest -uri "https://theautomationcode.com" $req
Output
To retrieve only links we can use that property and there you will also find some sub-properties like InnerHTML, Innertext, href, etc as shown in the output.
$req = Invoke-WebRequest -uri "https://theautomationcode.com" $req.Links
Output
innerHTML : Scripts innerText : Scripts outerHTML : <A href="https://theautomationcode.com/scripts/">Scripts</A> outerText : Scripts tagName : A href : https://theautomationcode.com/scripts/
We need only links so we will use the href property.
$req.Links | Select -ExpandProperty href
Output
