I am trying to extract the sys_id value and store it as a variable within postman. Currently I am not getting any errors using the following
var data = JSON.parse(responseBody);
pm.environment.set('sys_id', pm.response.json().sys_id);
It is saving the variable, but showing null within the value
Response Body
{
"result": {
"sys_id": "5ae690c11ba421d46557a9b7bd4bcbbf",
}}
Any help will be appreciated!
Without knowing the whole value of the response body - and based on this link, you can try this code - which I tested with another JSON data payload:
Code:
let data = pm.response.json();
pm.environment.set('sys_id', data.result.sys_id);
console.log(pm.variables.get("sys_id"));
Managed to resolve it with the following code:
var responseData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("sys_id", responseData.result.sys_id);

I have to create a series of GET - POST-GET request over Postman.
Here are the steps I am trying to implement:
1) GET - with base64 encoded authorization : through this I will get a token
2) POST - using the token received in Step1.
Now I want to know how can I save the token I am getting from step1 into an environment variable and further call the environment variable in step2.
Please refer to the Image to understand how I am receiving the token from step 1.
Below is how I am trying to save the variable in Tests,(not sure if this is correct)
var jsonData = JSON.parse(Headers);
pm.setEnvironmentVariable("token",jsonData.message.token);
As the reference looks like you're trying to get something from the response body, I'm assuming it looks something like this:
{
"message": {
"token": "qwerty123456"
}
}
In the script, you would use something like this:
var jsonData = pm.response.json();
pm.environment.set("token", jsonData.message.token);
One image, thousand words
Get global variable: {{token}}
I have a GET request to OKTA to retrieve some information that uses some variables etc. It returns a body. I have a second request of type PUT where I manually paste the BODY and make a change to one variable. I am trying to determine if I can remove the manual process of pasting in the response body from the 1st GET request onto the second PUT request.
As an example, I have a URL:
GET https://{{myurl}}/api/v1/apps/{{instanceid}}
This returns some dyanmic JSON data in the payload like so
"blah":{ some more blah
},
"signOn": {
"defaultRelayState": null,
"ssoAcsUrlOverride": ""
"audienceOverride": null,
"recipientOverride": null
}
what I am hoping to do is:
PUT https://{{myurl}}/api/v1/apps/{{instanceid}}
{replay entire body from 1st request with the modification of
"ssoAcsUrlOverride": "{{some var that points to a new url}},
}
I have looked at some articles that show:
Using Tests to send a GET request with a static body and replaying that exact body. In this case, I am looking to modify a parameter not replay as=is
I tried this thread here (In postman, how do I take a response body and use it in a new request within Tests
postman-how-do-i-take-a-response-body-and-use-it-in-a-new-request-within-tes) but I get an error stating that responseBody is not defined
First of all, let's validate the JSON response first. Here is the valid JSON with some dummy data.
{
"blah": "some more blah",
"signOn": {
"defaultRelayState": "1",
"ssoAcsUrlOverride": "www.google.com",
"audienceOverride": "true",
"recipientOverride": "yes"
}
}
1) Save first request's response into a environment variable req_body as follows,
var jsonData = pm.response.json();
pm.environment.set("req_body", jsonData);
2) In the PUT request, take another environment variable replace_this_body in body.
3) Get the value of E'variable req_body we had set in the first request in Pre-request script. Then change the value of it and set current request's body variable.
var requestBody = pm.environment.get("req_body");
requestBody.signOn.ssoAcsUrlOverride = "https://www.getpostman.com";
pm.environment.set("replace_this_body", JSON.stringify(requestBody));
Finally, you will get updated request data into PUT request!
I require help to execute a postman test which requires a response output from another test. I have checked with various forums but a solution is not available for this particular scenario.
Example
Test 1 response:
{
"items": [
{
"email": "archer+qa01#gmail.com",
"DocumentName": "tc",
"type": "URL",
"url": "https://localhost:8443/user/terms?statusno=a5f2-eq2wd3ee45rrr"
}
]
}
Test 2:
I need to use only the a5f2-eq2wd3ee45rrr part of the response data from Test 1, this can be seen in the url value above. I need to use this value within Test 2
How can I make this work with Postman?
Not completely sure what the response data format is from the question but if it's a simple object with just the url property, you could use something simple like this:
var str = pm.response.json().url
pm.environment.set('value', str.split('=', 2)[1])
This will then set the value you need to a variable, for you to use in the next request using with the {{value}} syntax in a POST request body or by using pm.environment.get('value') in one of the test scripts.
Edit:
If the url property is in an array, you could loop through these and extract the value that way. This would set the variable but if you have more than 1 url property in the array it would set the last one it found.
_.each(pm.response.json(), (arrItem) => {
pm.environment.set('value', arrItem[0].url.split('=', 2)[1])
})
If you get JSON response and then send JSON in body, I would do the following:
1) In test script(javascript):
var JsonBody = pm.response.json();
var strToParse = JsonBody.url;
var value = strToParse.slice(indexOf("?status=")+"?status=".length);//parse string
//manually but you can google for a better solutions.
pm.environment.get("varName" , value)
2) You can use it! In scripts like: pm.environment.get("varName"), and everywhere else using {{varName}}
I have a get request with Tests script as below
var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("var1", jsonData.var1);
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("var2", jsonData.var2);
However response for the request may or may not include all values eg.
response1
{
"var1": "value1",
"var2": "value2"
}
response2
{
"var2": "value2"
}
I use above data in next Put request. Body of the Put request is like below
{
"var1": "{{var1}}",
"var2": "{{var2}}"
}
The issue I am facing is if previous Get request did not have a value for a property (as in response2) then {{var1}} (i.e. variable name) is getting stored in the database (mysql). I tried removing double quotes around variable in the Put request but that gives me
invalid character '{' looking for beginning of object key string "
error
Can you please suggest best solution for the situation.
Thanks
I am trying to get a JSon from my server. I am calling the API like this:
Ext.data.JsonP.request({
url: 'http://dev.mysite.com/temp.cfm',
callbackKey: 'callback',
timeout: 40000,
params: {
format: 'json'
},
success: function(result, request) {
// Get the weather data from the json object result
var weather = result; console.log('Succ');
},
failure: function(result, request) {
// Get the weather data from the json object result
var weather = result; console.log('Fail');
},
callback: function(result, request) {
// Get the weather data from the json object result
var weather = result; console.log('CallB');
}
});
I am using Coldfusion as Serverside. So, I am simply doing this:
<cfreturn '#url.callback#({\"LOGINSTATUS\":\"fail\"})'>
That returns the following string:
Ext.data.JsonP.callback1({\"LOGINSTATUS\":\"fail\"})
But my request always times out.
I couldn't figure out what was the actual problem. I just tried using cfm file instead of cfc on server side and everything started working.
If anyone could explain why this happened I'll accept that explanation as correct answer.
Thanks DmitryB and Sharondio for you time and trying to help me fix it. I really appreciate your help.
