How Do I Use Invoke-WebRequest to Download Files in PowerShell? or Why Is My Invoke-WebRequest Comman

Invoke webrequest is kinda old-school tbh. Try `Invoke-RestMethod` instead—it’s more forgiving with JSON responses and handles redirects better.

Also, some sites block PowerShell’s default TLS version. Force TLS 1.2 at the start of your script:
```powershell
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
```

If all else fails, curl (the real one, not alias) or httpie might be worth a shot.
