💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using pm.request.url instead of the response to get the token.

Trying to get the token from environment variable before setting it.

The token is extracted from the JSON response using pm.response.json().token and saved into the environment variable 'authToken'.

medium

Complete the code to retrieve the stored token from environment variables.

Postman

const token = [1];

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Bpm.environment.get('authToken')

Cpm.variables.get('authToken')

Dpm.request.headers.get('authToken')

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using pm.environment.set() instead of get() to retrieve the token.

Trying to get token from request headers instead of environment variables.

pm.environment.get('authToken') retrieves the token stored in environment variables.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to correctly set the token variable.

Postman

pm.environment.set('token', [1]);

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aresponse.token

Bpm.response.body.token

Cpm.response.json().token

Dpm.request.body.token

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using pm.response.body.token which is undefined because body is a string.

Trying to get token from pm.request.body which is the request, not response.

pm.response.json().token correctly parses the JSON response and accesses the token property.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a header with the stored token for authorization.

Postman

pm.request.headers.add({ key: 'Authorization', value: 'Bearer [1]' });
const token = [2];

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Apm.environment.get('authToken')

Bpm.environment.set('authToken')

Cpm.response.json().token

Dpm.request.headers.get('Authorization')

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using pm.environment.set() instead of get() to retrieve the token.

Trying to get token from response instead of environment variables.

The token is retrieved from environment variables using pm.environment.get('authToken') and used in the Authorization header.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to extract the token, save it, and verify it is set correctly.

Postman

const token = [1];
pm.environment.set('authToken', [2]);
pm.test('Token is set', () => pm.expect([3]).to.not.be.undefined);

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Apm.response.json().access_token

Btoken

Cpm.environment.get('authToken')

Dpm.response.json().token

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using inconsistent variable names for token.

Checking the wrong variable in the test assertion.

The token is extracted from pm.response.json().access_token, saved using pm.environment.set with the variable token, and verified by checking pm.environment.get('authToken') is not undefined.
