It would be life saver if someone could help, with the getting the value inside the script tag as seen from the below image?.. attribute named “window.RequestVerificationToken”

@sonutitus Cheerio would be a good option here:

I saw a similar post here. Kindly go though this to know more about cheerio :slight_smile:

You can try the below snippet,

I just worked roughly since only the snapshot of the response in provided.

const $ = cheerio.load(responseBody);
//console.log($.html());

console.log($("script[windowRequestVerficationToken]").val());

Hi @bpricilla

Thank you for the reply :slight_smile:

I couldn’t fetch the value using the above resolution, so I am sharing the html response.

I am presently using the below code, but this would fail if the script tag is changing length.

    > **const** $ = cheerio.load(pm.response.text());
    > 
    > var str=$('script')[0].children[0].data
    > 
    > //console.log(str)
    > 
    > var mySubString = str.substring(
    > 
    >     str.lastIndexOf("= '") +3 , 
    > 
    >     str.lastIndexOf(";") -1
    > 
    > );

Thaks for sharing it, but before that. I missed a minute detail. can you try as below

const $ = cheerio.load(responseBody);
//console.log($.html());

console.log($("script[window.RequestVerificationToken]").val());
