I have an endpoint:

[http://localhost/gadgets/buy\_gadget/{{gadget\_id}](http://localhost/gadgets/buy_gadget/%7B%7Bgadget_id%7D)}

gadget\_id is read from a (JSON) data file but the request needs to be executed a random amount of times for the same gadget\_id (a store can have multiple gadgets of the same type).

How can postman do that?
