POLONIEX API Connect

Question

I'm trying to connect to POLONIEX API using powershell. I've tried different variation of the following code without any luck. Could anyone take a look to see what I'm missing?

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

$uri = 'https://poloniex.com/tradingApi'
$key = 'POLO-API-SECRET-KEY'
$secret= 'poloapisecret'
$nonce = [int][double]::Parse((Get-Date (get-date).touniversaltime() -UFormat %s))

$postParams = @{command="returnBalances";nonce="$nonce"}
 ### Encode URL and convert to raw bytes
 #$utf8enc = New-Object System.Text.UTF8Encoding
 #$postParams_bytes = $utf8enc.GetBytes($postParams)

$hmacsha = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.HMACSHA512
$hmacsha.key = [Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($secret)
$signature = 
$hmacsha.ComputeHash([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($postParams))
$sign = [Convert]::ToBase64String($signature)

$headers2 = @{key="$key";sign="$sign"}
# $headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"
# $headers.Add("key",$key)
# $headers.Add("sign",$sign)

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $uri -Method POST -Body $postParams -Headers $headers2 #| ConvertFrom-Json

BIG THANKS in advance for any help!!!

Well that was quite a ride; searched half the web, learned a lot and here is what I came up with. More functions may be adopted from https://pastebin.com/iuezwGRZ.

It would be great if you share your final script here also.

$PoloniexKey = "01234567-89ABCDEF-GHIJKLMN-OPQRSTUV"
$PoloniexSecret = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789abcdefghij"

$TradingUri = 'https://poloniex.com/tradingApi'
$PublicUri = 'https://poloniex.com/public'

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

function Get-PoloniexBalances {
    $request = @{command="returnBalances"}
    return Invoke-PoloniexRequest -Request $request
}

$Balances = Get-PoloniexBalances
