Hello @ereddy068 🙂

To do this action via code as you mentioned, then you would need Newman to do along. How are you running your Tests? Through collection runner or via Newman? Please share more details here.

Also please check the similar query raised and see if it helps.

If you are running through a collection runner, then first need to check Save response. After it got executed. You can export the result  
for newman you need use [newman library](https://github.com/DannyDainton/newman-reporter-htmlextra#with-newman-as-a-library) run you need to use your paths

```auto
const newman = require('newman'),
      fs = require('fs')

newman.run({
  collection: '<Collection File>',
  environment: '<env path json file',
  iterationCount: 1

}).on('console', function (error, args) {
      fs.appendFileSync('./results.csv', args.messages, function (error) {
  })
})

```
