Im passing multiple request bodies for an API using RequestBody.CSV file.
This requestbody have orderID and it should be a UUID every time. I'm passing this OrderID using User Parameters
And replaced them in the CSV file like this
This is the CVS data set config used
When I run the test, the orderID is not generating random number and it is passed as
This is the HTTP request im sending
How can I send random orderID in the request body.
In your CSV file change ${orderID} to ${__UUID}, JMeter's __UUID() function generates an unique UUID v4 structure each time it's being called.
In the HTTP Request sampler change ${requestbody} to ${__eval(${requestbody})}, JMeter's __eval() function evaluates nested JMeter Functions or Variables so an unique UUID will be generated on each iteration of each virtual user

I have bunch of requests in my postman collection for example :-
Request 1
Request 2
...
Request N
For each of these requests , I want to pass a client id for which is unique per request. I have created a data file with those client ids. So the data in CSV file is as follows : -
Client Id
1
2
..
N
My requirement is to use Client ID 1 in Request 1 , Client ID 2 in Request 2 instead of iterating Client ID 1 though the entire collection.
So basically data in CSV file to be used row wise in all the requests.
Would really appreciate suggestions on how this can be achieved.
I tried using Runner but it doesn't fit my requirement
Maybe it would be easier not to use .csv file here, but Postman Environment Variables.
If you're having the number of ClientIDs matches the number of request, you can do something like this:
In the Pre-Request Script of first request you have to initiate an array of clientIDs:
const clientIdArr = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10];
pm.environment.set('clientIdArr', clientIdArr);
Then we will shift the first value of array of clientID in every subsequent Postman Collection request:
const currentArr = pm.environment.get('clientIdArr');
const currentValue = currentArr.shift();
pm.environment.set('clientIdArr', currentArr);
pm.environment.set('currentClientId', currentValue);
Then you can use {{currentClientId}} environment variable in your actual request and exectute the Postman Collection via Collection Runner.
For more details how Array.prototype.shift() works please refer to the following link.
If you have a large amount of requests in your Postman Collection you might consider having those scripts as Postman Global Functions.
I need to fire some requests using Postman but I need to include the parameter in the URL.
What I need:
https://serveraddress/v1/busride/user/favorites/route/RanDOMid
What I currently can configure in Postman:
https://serveraddress/v1/busride/user/favorites/route/?id=RanDOMid
I do not control the server, so I need to work it out how to craft the request in Postman to accept the input data as part of the URL, not as parameter. How can I specify input data in Postman to get it included in URL?
Click on Manage Environment
Add variable as path with Initial and current value as RanDOMid
Add path to URL:
https://serveraddress/v1/busride/user/favorites/route/{{path}}
#User7294900's answer should do for you in case all you want to do is include a variable in your request URL.
However, if you want to actually generate a random ID for every request, you may use {{$guid}} or {{$randomInt}} directly in you URL as follows:
https://serveraddress/v1/busride/user/favorites/route/{{$guid}}
This will generate a random GUID every time your request is fired and the generated GUID will replace {{$guid}} in your URL.
or
https://serveraddress/v1/busride/user/favorites/route/{{$randomInt}}
This will generate a random integer between 0 and 1000 every time your request is fired and the generated integer will replace {{$randomInt}} in your URL.
Refer postman documentation for more details - https://www.getpostman.com/docs/v6/postman/environments_and_globals/variables
Hope this helps!
I'm willing to use 2 variables for random values with the same request.
I defined both in User Parameters as follows: var1=${__Random(1,100)}; var2=${__Random(1000,2000)} (Also I checked: Update once per iteration)
I have the requests:
Request1: GET user/${var1}
Request2: GET user/${var2}
During run-time, when it gets to request2 var2 equals var1!
How do I fix that?
Well, User Parameters is a PreProcessor so you should put it as a child of your HTTP Request in order to get correct behavior. You can use Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination to validate variables values (see How to Debug your Apache JMeter Script article for more details)
I would recommend discarding this User Parameters and injecting the __Random() function directly into your HTTP Request sampler Path like
/user/${__Random(1,100,var1)}
/user/${__Random(1000,2000,var2)}
This is a simpler way to generate random numbers and get them stored into JMeter Variables.
How do I Invoke an HTTP request with a particular URL and process the body of the response as XML?
Information Provided by ShopStyle:
HOW TO USE THE API:
Choose the method that returns the data your application needs. For example, the /products method is used to get products that match a given category or brand.Construct a URL for that method with the appropriate host, method name, and query parameters. Invoke the URL as an HTTP GET.
When the HTTP response arrives, extract the required data elements from the response's body.The rest of this document describes the details of constructing the right URL for each of the API methods. The XML format of the responses may be seen by clicking on the sample URLs shown for each method. The responses in JSON format contain identical information, just in a different format.
SHOPSTYLE API URLS
All ShopStyle API URLs have the following form:
http://api.shopstyle.com/api/VERSION/METHOD_NAMEpid=YOUR_API_KEY&format=FORMAT&...
The METHOD_NAME is taken from the list of methods in the various API shown at left (Press Link To View List of Methods-https://www.shopstylecollective.com/api/overview).
COMMON API PARAMETERS
All methods in the API accept these parameters:
API_KEY (my unique key is ******************)
pid Unique API_KEY string that is assigned to the caller. You can find your API Key on the Account Settings page.
FORMAT
The format of the response. Supported values are:
json - The response is in JSON format with UTF-8 encoding. This is the default if the parameter is absent.
xml - The response is in XML format with UTF-8 encoding.
jsonp - The response is in JSON format with UTF-8 encoding wrapped in a JavaScript method called padding. The padding must be specified with the query parameter 'callback'. Only single expressions (function reference, or object property function reference) are accepted as valid padding.
When set to 1 or 'true' the HTTP status will always be 200. Use the field "errorCode" in the response to detect whether the API Call was successful. By default, when an error occur the HTTP Status of the response will be different than 200
Again I am a beginner, so please provide detailed information on how to retrieve CATEGORY data (Examples: Dresses, Tops, Buttoms, etc) in XML format.**
Thank you!!!
Here's a simple example to get your started. Copy the code below and put it into a file, say "cat.php". Then run it by typing "php cat.php" at a command prompt (assumes you have php on your machine):
<?php
// don't show dom parse errors
libxml_use_internal_errors(true);
// grab the xml from the api
$response = file_get_contents("http://api.shopstyle.com/api/v2/categories?pid=TEST&format=xml");
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTML($response);
// grab all the categories
$elements = $doc->getElementsByTagName('categories');
foreach($elements as $node){
foreach($node->childNodes as $child) {
// get the name out of the category
$nodes = $child->getElementsByTagName("name");
foreach ($nodes as $name) {
echo $name->nodeValue . PHP_EOL;
}
}
}
I am testing RESTapi with (json format) using (HTTP Request sampler) in jmeter. I am facing problems with the PUT calls for update operation.
The PUT call with parameters don't work at all using (HTTP Request sampler), so now i am using the post body to pass the Json.
How can i pass the extracted values from the previous response to next PUT request in thread group? Passing the 'Regex veritable' to PUT call in Post body don't work, it doesn't take ${value} in Post body.
How do i carry out UPDATE operations using (HTTP Request sampler) in Jmeter?
Check that your regexp extractor really worked using a debug sampler to show extracted value.
Check your regexp extractor is scoped correctly.
See this configuration:
