I'm getting the following error:
com.amazon.coral.service#UnknownOperationException
not sure what's the issue?
postman call
postman variables
Just a guess - put the &version= in the URL, not in the variable or the & will get escaped.
& is converted to & in variables so action would contain GetDatabase&Version=2016-11-15 instead of GetDatabase and version would not be set.
Your URL should probably end with ?Action={{Action}}&Version={{version}} and your version variable would just be the date

postman.setEnvironmentVariable("documentNumRequest", pm.environment.get(documentNumUserPF));
Postman noob here. I have this POST call and I want to put the value of "documentNumUserPF" in "documentNumRequest", but i couldn't use the environment variables inside the code. Any tips?
Error:
ReferenceError: documentNumUserPF is not defined
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("documentNumRequest", pm.environment.get("documentNumUserPF"));
you are telling to get variable with name documentNumRequest so enclose it with qoutes
https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/3648
postman keyword will be deprecated in future , so move to new pm api and use it more
pm.environment.set("documentNumRequest", pm.environment.get("documentNumUserPF"));
I have variable "TOKEN" in my collection scope. I try to set the value using Tests scripts when do a request. But the variable not changed.
So, I try to use environment scope variable. And It works.
Why It's doesn't work when in collection scope? I had read about postman variable scope here and understand it well.
Here're some screenshots:
1. First, I call login endpoint.
Below is the console result. Nothing wrong.
Until I try to get all users endpoint that required token in request header. The status is 401 because the token is null. If the token is not null, then it will return 200:
It's gracefully working when I add "TOKEN" variable to environment. Switch to No Environment again will result 401 status code:
This may be new since this question was posted, but for anyone else
finding this, you can set collection variables using:
pm.collectionVariables.set(key, value)
See:
https://learning.postman.com/docs/sending-requests/variables/#defining-variables-in-scripts
You can now use:
pm.collectionVariables.set("variable_key", "variable_value");
In my original answer in June 2019, I wrote that collection variables are not editable through scripts, and can only be changed manually. As noted, this is no longer the case. . . .*
Turn off Automatic persist variable values from postman settings.

It seems you can only set env variables when some environment is selected: https://learning.postman.com/docs/postman/scripts/postman-sandbox/#environment-and-global-variables
When I add environment variables I can use them in my post body with {{varName}}. But this does not work for collection variables (Collection > edit > Variables tab)
With the settings as shown above, if I add {{firstName}} to my body it does not work. How can I access these collection variables in my posts?
Currently if I try to post postman will just hang for a while then give this error
Error: Script execution timed out.↵ at
ContextifyScript.Script.runInContext (vm.js:53:29)
If I use an environment variable or just type in a value it works fine.
Also, you need to make sure to save the request to the belonging collection before you can use it!
It turns out {{varName}} does work. The problem was in my pre-request script. The API I was connecting to requires a checksum on the body so it pre-processes the variables in the body, but it was not setup to handle collection variables. This was causing postman to fail. User error.
I have create global variable. Set it as Test as env variaable corresponding quote id were stored in the CreateGLVar
pm.test("Status code is 200", function () {
pm.response.to.have.status(200);});
var jsonData = pm.response.json();
pm.environment.set("CreateGLVar",jsonData.result.quoteID);
script for storing the value in Env variable
May i know how i can use value which is stored in the CreateGLVar for the below script. how i can the quote id from first request from global variable and insert dynamically in the second request( shown below) .
get quote id
enter image description here
Postman uses double curly braces to insert variables, which can also be used in raw request bodies.
In your specific case you can use:
"quoteID": "{{quoteIdVariable}}"
I am using the Postman Chrome extension Version 5.3.1, and this works for me.
Edit: Now that the Chrome extension has been depricated, this still works with the Postman Desktop app
Thanks Aaron.
I got the success when i used the "quoteID": "{{quoteIdVariable}}" in my bind API.my 2 API are working fine when i executed individually.
But I got issue when i executed API's as collection( Quote and Bind API). What i missing here if i executed as collection.

I use Postman for REST API testing and parametrize tests with global variables.
I should put a phone number into GET request: /path/get?phone={{phone}} but leading + sign in the phone number is interpreted as a space.
What is the syntax to URL encode global variables in Postman? Is it possible to run JS encodeURIComponent() on variable in URL?
I am late but still worth it:
Just highlight and right click the part of url you want to encode. Select encodeURIComponent
That's it.
Use the Pre-request scripts (it's next to body) for this:
var encoded = encodeURIComponent({{phone number}});
or
var encoded = encodeURIComponent(pm.environment.get("phone number"));
and to proceed, use:
pm.environment.set("encoded phone number", encoded);
And set your URL to /path/get?phone={{encoded phone number}}
Just a shortcut to Mohhamad Hasham' answer.
You can encode and decode direct in the Params Value field:
The trick is to get your environment variable in the pre-request script and then set it after encoding it
var encoded = encodeURIComponent(pm.environment.get("phone"));
pm.environment.set("encoded phone number", encoded);
This will work as well:
var encoded = encodeURIComponent(pm.request.url.query.get("phone"));
pm.request.url.query.remove("phone");
pm.request.url.query.insert("phone", encoded);
I came across this question looking for an answer to a similar question. For me, the variable was a JSON object. The endpoint I needed to hit was expecting an object list as a query parameter and I have no way to change that to be the request body.
As much as some of the answers helped, I ended up coming up with a combined solution. Also, some of the code given in other answers is outdated as Postman has updated their API over the years, so this uses methods that work on 7.22.1.
pm.environment.set("basicJSON", '[{"key1":"value1","key2":"value2"},{"key1":"value1","key2":"value2"}]')
var encoded = encodedURIComponent(pm.environment.get("basicJSON"))
pm.environment.set("encodedJSON", encoded)
This solution requires that both basicJSON and encodedJSON exist as environment variables. But what was important for me was the ease of editing the object. I didn't want to have to decode/encode constantly to change values, and I didn't want to have to open the environment variables dialogue. Also, it's important to note the single-quotes around the object. Excluding them or using double-quotes would cause Postman to send something like "[object Object]" which is useless to an endpoint expecting actual JSON.
I had similar problem with braces { and } in query parameter.
By turning off the following setting it started working for me.
For the postman version 9.28.4 ==>
You can use 2 methods:
By selecting the part of the url in url bar -> right click -> EncodeURLComponent. (screenshot attached)
You can also use "pre-request script" tab of postman and write the script for the variable manually. (screenshot attached)
The problem with right-click => Encode URI Component is that it destroys the raw value of that parameter. You can use the following pre-request script to overcome this (which also works for cases where you have disabled that param):
// queryParam is of type https://www.postmanlabs.com/postman-collection/QueryParam.html
if ((queryParam = pm.request.url.query.one("name_of_your_query_param")) !== undefined
&& queryParam.disabled !== true) {
queryParam.value = encodeURIComponent(queryParam.value);
}
Click the Params button to open the data editor for URL parameters. When you add key-value pairs, Postman combines everything in the query string above. If your URL already has parameters - for example, if you are pasting a URL from some other source. Postman splits the URL into pairs automatically.
https://www.getpostman.com/docs/v6/postman/sending_api_requests/requests
POSTMAN's documentation on building requests in the section "sending parameters" is helpful here. You can encode path data by simply encoding the URL with a colon, listing the key name of the encoded element, and then a new section will appear below the query parameters allowing you to customize values and add a description, just as we do with query params. Here's an example of encoding the URL for a GET request:
https://somesite-api-endpoint/:record/get
And here's what the display looks like after you add path data. Any value you add in the path variables section will automagically update the URL with your data.
