So Im trying to get a list of transactions from a group, but not sure how to implement the .ROBLOSECURITY cookie value into my header.
So the .ROBLOSECURITY is a cookie therefore it is assigned in the headers.
The way this should be used is:
Header = Cookie
Value = .ROBLOSECURITY=your cookie
Here is an example built in PostMan, not sure what your using:

I'm creating REST API (Symfony 4, FOS Rest bundle) and for testing I'm using Postman app. Problem is that at login request I get JWT token and later, in every other request I have to pass it back as part of Authorization header, as Bearer token. And since this token changes with every login I have to manually copy/paste token value after every login (when token expires).
Can that be avoided somehow and done automatically?
First, after successful authorization - login call returned the JWT token it has to be stored into some variable. When editing login request, there is a "Tests" tab.
Here we can put JavaScript code that will be executed after request is executed, so we will enter the code like this there:
var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
if(jsonData.token) {
pm.globals.set("jwt-token", jsonData.token);
}
Or, shorter version, as #Danny Dainton suggested:
pm.globals.set("jwt-token", pm.response.json().token)
We are collecting response and storing "token" value to global variable called "jwt-token".
If you use older version of Postman this code should look a bit different - storing variable should look like:
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("jwt-token", jsonData.token);
(Here storing as environmental variable vs. global variable in example above - both types should work. Use what you need).
So now, token value will be stored. Then we have to use it with other requests.
Edit all other request that must pass JWT token. Go to "Authorization" tab, select "Bearer Token" authorization type and for value just enter {{jwt-token}} .
Again if you are using older version of Postman and don't have that "Bearer Token" type go to "Headers" tab instead, add new header with key "Authorization" and for it's value set Bearer {{jwt-token}}
That's it. Now you have to execute login request only once and JWT token will automatically be used in all other request.
And if you face some issue, you can use console to print debug info. Add in you code i.e.:
console.log(jsonData.token);
And from main menu go to View -> Show Postman Console to open console window where will you get console.log output.
I have application api url which has passed as Background with Basicauth. Using that i need to get an csrf token. I tried with responsecookies. Nothing is coming up.
Can you please let me know how to get the csrf token from that specific api. I am getting actual application response but not the cookies.
Please read the documentation and go through the demo examples. It depends on the response. There are 2 possibilities, cookie (or header) OR the response body itself (plain text or JSON / XML).
So it is up to you to extract it and then store it as a variable, and use it to build headers for all future responses.
Please refer to the demo example:
Given path 'signin', 'token'
When method get
Then status 200
And header X-CSRF-TOKEN = response
In this case, the token happened to be the entire response string.
I'm trying to test my API with Identity Server Asp.net Core using Postman.
This is the way that I'm trying to do:
First request HttpGet to https://localhost:5000/Account/Login and in response body I received: <input name="__RequestVerificationToken" type="hidden" value="CfDJ8MoS9upoM4dNp8Kx-AdvA-uYr13_PAkuMZpzYMV8UmxZq5GdLTvN-Ht5NpTLmPtlhL5d5z2Hu2vUJoJGhk1AMlARDcOwqgq7Cef1dfQL_vl4tIFM4kx9RZPz8DHU26-U9qLnKAIstZgR42-1FuGNh24" />
And in Cookie (not sure for what it is though):
Then HttpPost to https://localhost:5000/Account/Login with RequestVerificationToken with token received from body HttpGet request.
And always error 400 as you can see at screen shot above.
In Visual studio I can see that some request was catched but clearly was incorrect.
If I'll remove attribute [ValidateAntiForgeryToken] then of course everything works fine but obviously because that validation is disabled.
You'd need to do followings to send such a request:
1.) Enter __RequestVerificationToken key value (don't forget double underscores) into x-www-form-urlencoded
2.) You need to add .AspNetCore.Antiforgery cookie to the Cookies section in Postman.
For example like this
.AspNetCore.Antiforgery.1XHiLFgQI2w=your cookie value; Path=/; Domain=localhost;Expires=Session;
You can find .AspNetCore.Antiforgery cookie in Application section in Google Developer Tools

Just spent a lot of time on this.
I did several things:
Setup an Environment and added a variable.
Added a pre-request script that...
Uses pm.SendRequest to Get the page
uses cheerio to find the first input field named __RequestVerificationToken and get its value
set the environmental variable to the value retrieved from the field
send the form data (since I'm using asp.net core, the values for the model), as x-www-form-urlencoded
and last, but not least, I added __RequestVerificationToken as one of the key value pairs in the form data and set it to the use the variable already setup
The main reason I am posting this answer is the last, I saw a lot of things on the web that indicated that name was supposed to be RequestVerificationToken, and that doesn't work, just leads to a 400 response (bad request).
In postman, you’d need to set the content type to form url encoded.
And send the request Verification token in the header as "RequestVerificationToken"
However, if you just need a Bearer token then you need to call
POST https://<your identity server>/connect/token with the
My app API requires authentication via an authentication token. In short, we send a request to a /authentication endpoint and it responds with a JSON object containing a token, like:
{"token": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"}
Every other API endpoint in our application requires an authentication header containing this token. Now, in Postman it's possible to do the authentication request, copy the token, open the next endpoint and paste the authentication header in manually. But this becomes tedious and time-consuming when testing lots of endpoints.
Is there a way to have Postman save and automatically add the authentication token from one request in any follow-up requests?
Even better, could Postman automatically send the /authentication request prior to any of the other requests?
Postman allows you a wide variety of options when crafting API requests.
In your case, You can create a global variable for your token when you receive it by:
var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
postman.setGlobalVariable('token', jsonData.token);
This would go in your Tests tab, in order to execute this script after your request has been completed.
Now, a global variable token is set and can be accessed using {{token}} syntax in the following API requests you make.
I'll demonstrate it to you regarding the same, with a similar example:
1. Save the data of latitude and longitude into the global variables lat and long.
2. Reuse the data by referring to the name of the variable, i.e. lat and long by enclosing them within curly braces like {{lat}} and {{long}}.
You can also manage these global variables, by clicking on the gear icon in the top right corner, and selecting manage environments then opening the Globals tab.
Tip: You can also, save the request to obtain the token into your collections, so that each time, you don't have to craft the URL to obtain the token.
