reciving a data from a GET request and sending it as another POST request

Ask the Experts and Postman Tips
1

Hi,

I want to be able to automate this task, is it possible to do it?

I’m sending a GET request and I’m getting JSON data contained the below.
I want to take the changing “id” ( “id”: “5af155b9ae908e2082961573” ) and to send it as a parameter to a POST request.

I can confirm I read the doc w/o understanding what to do.

As you can see, the “id” is changing in each of the replies.

Hi @tobenary ,
as per my understanding,
try this in Tests Tab in Get request Api,

var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
//console.log(jsonData);

postman.setEnvironmentVariable("ID", jsonData.id);

and in Post request Api use the id value like below,

{
{
      "XXXXX": "YYYY",
        "XXXXXXXXX": "{{id}}",
        "XXX": "{{abc}}"
    }
}

Hope this helps your scenario. Let know if anything needed

Hey @gopikrishna4595

I did it and I got the below picture.
Please note that I changed the capital ID to small caps after verifying both are not working.

The next POST command should use each {id}( number ) and create a “for loop” and repeat the post commands

2018-05-29_090357
2018-05-29_0903571920×1200 279 KB
x times ( Where x is the number of occurrences it got from the GET command.

The next Post command looks like this:
tomerb.XYZt/web/api/v1.6/threats/{id}/mitigate/kill

But again, I’m getting Unexpected ‘<’

Appriciate your answer.
