How can I set ID value to environment variable from the response? I need to save only ID value for Env. variable. In this example, I need only the 10675 value to save in the env variable.

Response:

{
“Message”: "Successfully ",

“Status”: 0,

"ResponseCode": 0,

"Data": [
    {
        "ID": 10675,
        "cx_lName": "Name2",
        "cx_Folder": "Folder"
    }
]

}

This is covered in the training within the Learning Center on the page Postman page after you login.

Go to Postman Training and I would start with “Galaxy APIs 101” then the “Galaxy Testing and Automation” courses.

The code you need in the test tab of your request is as follows;

// var response = pm.response.json();
var response = 
{
    "Message": "Successfully ",
    "Status": 0,

    "ResponseCode": 0,

    "Data": [
        {
            "ID": 10675,
            "cx_lName": "Name2",
            "cx_Folder": "Folder"
        }
    ]
}

console.log(typeof(response)) // this should be a javascript object, same as pm.response.json()
console.log(response); // whats in that object

console.log(response.Data[0].ID); // first element in the data array - arrays start at zero

pm.environment.set("ID", response.Data[0].ID); // save it to an environment variable

console.log(pm.environment.get("ID")); // console log that environment variable
