+How to query your Azure Devops Pipelines, using PowerShell
+
+In the digital realm of Azure DevOps, where pipelines flow as endlessly as the rivers of the fabled Babylon, we find ourselves in need of a divine intervention. 
+
+Enter PowerShell, the Lord’s own programming language, ready to smite the overwhelming chaos of untracked appIDs and rogue variable values.
+
+```powershell
+# Arm yourself with the holy script
+$AzureDevOpsPat = "p@ssw0rd" # Replace with your Personal Access Token
+
+
+$headers = @{
+     'Authorization' = 'Bearer ' + $AzureDevOpsPat
+ }
+
+$OrganizationName = "Heavenly-DevOps" # Replace with your Azure DevOps Organization Name
+$ProjectName = "Creation"             # Replace with your Azure DevOps Project Name
+$FolderToSearch = "42"                # The folder containign the pipelines we seek
+
+#the variables which may contain the fields we seek
+$VariablesToList = "ServicePrincipalUserName","service-principal-id"
+
+$link = "https://dev.azure.com/{0}/{1}/_apis/pipelines?api-version=7.2-preview.1" `
+    -f $OrganizationName, $ProjectName
+
+if ($data -eq $null){
+      $data = Invoke-RestMethod -Method 'GET' -Uri $link -Headers $headers
+   }
+   else{
+      "keeping last result"
+}
+
+$folderPipelines = $data.value | where folder -eq $FolderToSearch
+
+foreach($a in $folderPipelines){
+    $values = $null
+    $thisPipeline = Invoke-RestMethod -Method 'GET' -Uri $a.url -Headers $headers
+     
+    foreach($field in $VariablesToList){
+        $values += $thisPipeline.configuration.variables.$field.value
+    }
+    
+    @{name=$thisPipeline.Name;SPId=[string]::Join(',', $values)}  
+}
+```
+
+
+### Why, you ask, would one embark on such a celestial quest? 
+
+Imagine, if you will, sifting through thousands of Azure DevOps Pipelines, each a potential Pandora’s box, just to see if any dare to use a particular appID or variable value. 
+
+It’s like finding a needle in a haystack, but fear not! With PowerShell, you’re not just any farmer looking at hay pieces by hand; instead, you’re a shepherd with a divine rod, parting the sea of data with ease and precision.
+
+So, don your robes, grab your staff, and prepare to command the elements of Azure DevOps with the omnipotence of PowerShell. 
+
+For in this quest, it is not just about finding what is lost, but about mastering the cosmos of continuous integration and delivery.
