How to extract value of an authentication token from a login response body and pass in subsequent request as ‘Bearer Token’?¶

Given the response from the authentication server:

{
    "accessToken": "foo",
    "refreshToken": "bar"
    "expires": "1234"
}

Extract the value of the token from the response in the Tests tab:

var jsonData = pm.response.json();
var token = jsonData.accessToken;

Set the token as a variable (global, environment, etc) so that it can used in later requests:

pm.globals.set('token', token);

To use the token in the next request, in the headers part the following needs to be added (key:value example below):

Authorization:Bearer {‌{token}}

How to read links from response and execute a request for each of them?¶

Given the following response:

{
    "links": [
        "http://example.com/1",
        "http://example.com/2",
        "http://example.com/3",
        "http://example.com/4",
        "http://example.com/5"
    ]
}

With the following code we will read the response, iterate over the links array and for each link will submit a request, using pm.sendRequest. For each response we will assert the status code.

// Parse the response
var jsonData = pm.response.json();

// Check the response
pm.test("Response contains links", function () {
    pm.response.to.have.status(200);
    pm.expect(jsonData.links).to.be.an('array').that.is.not.empty;
});


// Iterate over the response
var links = jsonData.links;

links.forEach(function(link) {
    pm.test("Status code is 404", function () {
        pm.sendRequest(link, function (err, res) {
            pm.expect(res).to.have.property('code', 404);
        });
    });
});
