Can we create variables from response and use those variables for the next request?

For e.g. suppose I login and receive a json response with the accesstoken (at some path, say $.id). Can I store this into a variable, and, issue the subsequent requests with the same: http://localhost:3000/foo/bar?accessToken={{$accessToken}} ?

Yes, you can. Just don't put the $ before accessToken, that is only used for system variables.

As in the example, you need to use @name_of_the_var = {{ firstRequestName.response.body.$.field }} , so in the next request, you will be able to use it on the body to headers just using {{ name_of_the_var }}.

@baseUrl = https://example.com/api

# @name login
POST {{baseUrl}}/api/login HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

name=foo&password=bar

###

@authToken = {{login.response.headers.X-AuthToken}}

# @name createComment
POST {{baseUrl}}/comments HTTP/1.1
Authorization: {{authToken}}
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "content": "fake content"
}

###

@commentId = {{createComment.response.body.$.id}}
