Firstly, being complete up front, I am a novice when it comes to utilising APIs (only started playing around a couple of weeks ago).
The APIs that I need to use regularly require a session key, which expires pretty fast if you are not actively using, and so I was hoping to store that key as a variable in my collection so I could build out calls that are regularly used and put the variable in to save copy/paste time.
However, I don’t seem to be able to get the variable to save in the correct format. I have attached a picture below to show what this looks like but basically the response for the session key request is;
<response status="success">
<value type="string">4whOJWwMi1OfXRybTzWn7ANDZi43Vee3CCfqJY9cUUk.</value>
</response>
I have attempted to pop that into a variable by first converting to JSON object, then pulling out the session key and finally saving it as a variable. However, the script below doesn’t seem to take the value on its own and save it as a string that I can reuse but rather stores it as some kind of object.
var jsonObject = xml2Json(responseBody);
var key = jsonObject.response.value;
pm.collectionVariables.set("dans-session-key", jsonObject.response.value);
Kinda out of my depth here and would appreciate a steer.
