Simple Function to retrieve Module(s) info(s) from the PSGallery. Its an attempt to search the psgallery with it's API. The idea at the begining was to be able to retrieve module download infos.
The function builds an odata query for the psgallery api. It uses a basic class to expand all properties and give the possibility to download the package.
Fork the projet and clone it, or install from the psgallery directly : Install-Module -Name PSGalleryModule
You can search by Module Name, by Authors, or by Date.

Find-GalleryModule -Date 17/09/2019 -Version LatestVersion
Find-GalleryModule -Module Pshtml -Version PreReleaseYou can not use the author, module or date parameter at the same time.
You can use the Download switch to download the package as a zip file.
By default the package will be downloaded in the current directory. To change this behavior, use the outpath parameter.
As the files are saved as zip files, you can directly pipe the result to Expand-Archive.
