You could run the Hebcal CLI (command-line interface) as part of your powershell script and capture the output into an environment variable.

The Hebcal CLI is written in Go, so it's cross-platform and should compile/run just fine on Windows.


Here's what it looks like on Linux/macOS -- should be the same on Windows

$ hebcal -T -h -x | head -1
28th of Iyyar, 5783
$ hebcal -T -h -x --lang=he | head -1
כ״ח אִיָיר תשפ״ג
$

Thanks for the suggestion!

    If you wish to download dates further into the future, go back to the custom calendar page (step 1 above) and enter a year further into the future (for example 5787) and repeat the process. Each time you'll be able to download a 10-year CSV file.

    For example:
