Is it possible to render an html reponse using sendRequest?
Our logIn page uses html reponse and there’s where I obtain a csrf token to then log in, I’d like to know if I can do this as if I’m using cheerio(pm.response.text()
This is how I’m trying currently

Hey @gerardovanegas620
Great to have you here! 🏆
In the context of the `pm.sendRequest()` function - `pm.response.text()` wouldn’t work there as that’s a reference to the main request’s response body.
The response of that `pm.sendRequest()` request is being captured in the `response` arg so doing just `response.text()` would be what you need.
For example:
```auto
pm.sendRequest("https://postman-echo.com/get", function (err, response) {
console.log(response.text());
});
```
It wouldn’t actually ‘render’ that anywhere in the app (maybe the console if you log it) but it would return the response that you can use.
The way you have the `cheerio` reference doesn’t look quite right though, I think it might need to be something like this:
```auto
const $ = cheerio.load(response.text());
let csrfToken = $('[name=_csrf]').attr('value');
pm.globals.set("csrfToken", csrfToken);
```

Hey Danny!
Thanks first for the fast response I appreciate it, second, thanks because it worked like a charm and I really wanted to take advantage of the sendRequest function
