In postman, I have a pre-request scenario where I have to take a cookie value and store it in the environment variable, say csrf in my case, and use it for the API request. As shown in the image, I have 2 cookies for the domain namely XSRF-TOKEN and _d. I have to take only the XSRF-TOKEN for the particular domain and store it in csrf variable. I have to exclude Path, Domain and the Secure fields
My pre-request script:
pm.environment.set("csrf", pm.cookies.get('XSRF-TOKEN'))
With this, the environment variable csrf is stored as null, and I don't understand where I have gone wrong. Any help is appreciated.
const jar = pm.cookies.jar()
jar.get('example.com', 'cookieName', (err, cookie) => {
console.log(cookie)
})
See:
https://learning.postman.com/docs/postman/sending-api-requests/cookies/#get-a-cookie
You'll also need to whitelist the domain you're trying to get the cookie from:

I am running my collection and in one case I want to clear the cookie(clear login session) programmatically. I followed the documentation provided by postman (https://learning.getpostman.com/docs/postman/sending-api-requests/cookies/) but that does not seem to be working. Is there any way to delete the cookies programmatically in my postman.
I am using the following code in the "Tests" tab of postman
const cookieJar = pm.cookies.jar();
cookieJar.unset(url, "cookiename", function (error) {
});
When I hit send it shows "There was an error in evaluating the test script: TypeError: cookieJar.unset is not a function" in the console and when I go to cookies in postman the cookie is not getting deleted
Beginning in Postman 7.3.5, you have to Whitelist the domain of the cookie. I was then able to manipulate cookies in a pre-request script to delete the cookie. Not sure whether it will work in the test script.
Here are the instructions.
Is there an alternative to this javascript:
document.cookie
which can be run inside apps script?
Context:
I'm using Google Analytics Measurement Protocol and is trying to collect __utmz cookie values from inside apps script functions to apply them to:
UrlFetchApp.fetch('https://www.google-analytics.com/collect...............') requests.
That __utmz cookie is being assigned at http://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/.... page.
You don't need cookies: If users click a link from domain A to domain B you should add the _ga parameter that you get from linkerParam to the link. Then on domain B you should set allowLinker to true for GA to read the value of the _ga parameter and use it to identify the user as being the same as on domain A.
When I see my cookie in browser,it keeps on changing every 1 hour.
I don't have any log in page in my UI.
Instead, one access token gets attached to the request cookie for authentication.
When ever I copy that access token and hard code it in my HTTP HEADER MANAGER,it works fine.
But once the access token gets expired,the test case fails.
So,how to get the access token/ cookie from request header of browser dynamically while sending request, to execute my test cases
Add a Cookie Manager to your Test Plan
Open user.properties file and add CookieManager.save.cookies=true line.
Restart JMeter to apply the changes.
You can access the saved cookies with COOKIE prefix ,example: ${COOKIE_CookieName} Use this to add cookie value where required
You can use Cookie Manager for this scenario.
Example:-
Name: VAR
Value: ${COOKIE_XSRF-TOKEN}
When
CookieManager.save.cookies=true
in jmeter.properties file, the variable VAR has the value of the XSRF-TOKEN cookie

Hope it helps.
I'm using Newman and the native Windows Postman app to test a REST API. It stores the session cookie between requests, allowing me to access information that requires authorization without providing correct authorization. I would like to be able to delete the cookie within the pre-request script section. Is this possible? I know how to delete cookies using the GUI through reading questions such as How to delete session cookie in Postman? and the official postman documentation but that doesn't help me deal with this issue.
Postman v7.6.0 has added support for programmatic cookie access. Hence, if you want to delete a cookie in the pre-request script, you can do the following:
Remove a single cookie
const jar = pm.cookies.jar();
jar.unset(pm.request.url, 'cookie name', function (error) {
// handle error
});
Remove all cookies
const jar = pm.cookies.jar();
jar.clear(pm.request.url, function (error) {
// handle error
});
You can find a detailed overview of the API here:
https://learning.getpostman.com/docs/postman/sending-api-requests/cookies/#programmatic-accees-of-cookies
This is not currently possible with Postman, it's an open feature request at the moment:

I want to send a http request to a webservice ,which I implemented earlier, that need the user to be login. Now, I implemented a form page that do this for me and I need to change it for every different request.
As far as I know, Django need "csrftoken" and "sessionid" to allow requests. Unfortunately, I can not figure out how to add this two field to Postman client and interact with my Django services.
Postman receives cookies from chrome and you can retrieve them using the Postman interception plugin.
See here
Now after installing the plugin :
Create a new environment so environment variables can be stored
Create a method with a test to store the XSRF cookie value in an environment variable, in the test tab post this code
var token = postman.getResponseCookie("XSRF");
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("xsrf-token", token .value);
Now you will have an environment variable with xsrf-token in it.
Save your method
Create the new post and add XSRF-Token-Header Key in the header.
Access the token value with {{xsrf-token}}
Now before running your new request make sure you run the method, so that it can store the environment variable, and then when you run the actual request it will append its value in the header.

Just in case : For ajax requests you can refer to the django docs
