Want to use result of one request in a second request, for API testing with Cypress

I want to test API endpoint using cypress and want do mocking for AUTH token because it's coming from another API

cy.intercept({
method:'get',
url:'/first endpoint'
},response).as('mocktoken');

cy.request({
method:'get',
url:'/firstendpoint'}).then(response=>{
 cy.request({
method:'get',
url:'/secondendpoint'}).then(response=>{ // assertion statement});

Thhis is not working what can be done to implement this scenario

First, i want auth token from first which I am, trying to mock then using this token I will get the response from second endpoint

Don't use cy.intercpet() in this case, it's for intercepting web page requests not test requests.

This is how you can do it most simply

cy.request('/firstendpoint')
  .then(response1 => {
    cy.request({
      method:'get',
      url:'/secondendpoint',
      body: {
        token: response1.token    // check where the token is in the response
      }
    })
    .then(response2 => { 
      ...
    })
  })

There is no mocking, you are using the real thing!
