How to set auth token cookie fetched from browser?

šŸ™‹ Help
1

Hello,

I am trying to create a request that requires an auth-token in the header for authentication. The auth-token is stored as a cookie, which can be obtained by accessing Redirecting . After redirection to https://admin.hlx.page/profile, you can find the cookie in the response. I need to use this cookie value in the header for my request. Iā€™m not very experienced with Postman, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Note: The Redirecting is behind oauth and works fine when you are already logged in browser.

Hi @amogh-daryapurkar. Welcome to the Postman Community.

Since this uses OAuth, Postman has OAuth authorization helpers that helps you manage the redirection automatically. But you have to set the redirect URL to a URL Postman provides or autofills for you, this enables Postman easily get the authorization grant after redirection.

You can learn how to use this authorization helper here

Thank you for your reply @gbadebo-bello !

But this is little different than OAuth so that document is not helping here much.
