    Hi ddaniel​, the first result from the API with no marker specified is always an empty result set with a marker value so I think your logic on line 196 just needs to be amended to this:

    if (($feed.fetchedCount -eq 0 -and $batchCount -ne 0) -or [string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($feed.marker)) {

    That way, it will skip trying to break execution for the first result set and then start using the marker until you do get a true empty result set.

JohnF - thank you!  I have marked that as a solution and my code is now working and returning results.  I have more reading and development to do but that gets me started nicely.  I am now retrieving events.
