Postman How to use the value from response and use it in request afterword

Question

Is there a simple way in Postman to:

• request a token then use this token as Authorization value in the header of next request.

Or

• When created a new entry can we to use the newly created entry_id to for further actions e.g. Update/Delete

I want the chaining requests of a collection or a folder without stop and edit every request body.

Answer 1

Let's say I want to create a new obj called 'qif' then get its id, and then update it.

1. In Postman open the first request - Test tab enter:

var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
pm.environment.set("new_create_qif_id", jsonData.id);

2. after sending the request you will get the environment valuable new_create_qif_id ready.

3. use {{new_create_qif_id}} in request body or URL, it will be updated every time we run the collection or folder

Requesting token is just the same.
