Can Postman Variables be Passed Into Header? - testing

I am trying to string a few Postman requests together for testing.
In the first request I set a global variable as a test script.
tests['Status code is 200'] = (responseCode.code === 200);
if (responseCode.code === 200) {
try {
let jwt = responseBody.replace(/"/g, '');
pm.globals.set("jwt", jwt);
console.log("Variable will be set to", jwt);
}
catch(e) {
console.log(e);
}
}
In the second request I run a pre-request script as
let jwt = pm.globals.get("jwt");
Then I try to pass it into the header
Is it possible to pass a value into the header when running tests in the runner?
When running tests in the Runner the second request fails due to having an invalid jwt, and the Postman docs only show examples passing variables into the URL.

It's covered in postman auth.
Authenticate to get the JWT(oken) - Token API request
Add the test in to capture the token
var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("jwt", jsonData.token);
Authorization > Type > Bearer Token
Token: {{jwt}}
Setup your Environment
Select the Environment
Select Keep variable values from the Collection Runner dialog (if you are running it in command line)
Note: I'm using version 6.3.0.

Sync Token in Postman

A fresher to postman, currently working on API project where I need to delivery to the API and Token the client to integrate with them system, good is I successfully configure the Authorization as OAuth Type as Password Credentials and receiving perfect response as 200.
The issue/confusion is Token is getting expire every hour, I need to Get new Access Token every time.
So, the question is, is it anyway I can overcome this issue?
that no need to get new/refresh token.
can provide the one fix token to client.
You can do it like here. You can get the token in the pre-request field of the collection or request.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/73911458/10126763
EDIT
We can adapt it like this:
Take this and paste it in the "pre-request" field of the collection or the request you will use directly. Create an "environment" value named "accessToken". When each request is run, this method will run first and send the token value to the value in the environment.
// Set refresh and access tokens
const loginRequest = {
url: "exampleurl.com/etc/etc", //YOUR URL
method: 'GET',
header: {
'content-type': 'application/json',
'Accept': "*/*"
} //Since you will be using GET, I deleted the body. If you are sending value you can get the body field from the other example in the link.
};
pm.sendRequest(loginRequest, function (err, res) {
pm.environment.set("accessToken", res.json().accessToken); //The token returned in the response and the environment value to which the value will be sent
});

Refresh token automatically via Postman

When testing some api, the token need to be generated each 3min and I would like to do the refresh automatically, I did the following
I have a collection "CollectionGetter" which contain some requests
from "CollectionGetter" collection :
I've added the following script in "Tests" tab
var jsonData = pm.response.json();
pm.environment.set('getToken', jsonData.access_token);
on authorozation tab,set :
Type = Bearer token
Token {{getToken}}
then selected a request under CollectionGetter :
getAccount (GET url/api/account)
Auth = inherit autho from parent
and sent it
=> got a 401 JSONError: No data, empty input at 1:1
Any help ?
is my configuration correct

403 access denied to the website with proper login/pass through google script

var url = "https://web-site_name/page/?format=json&var_data-organization_dates&xlsexport=true";
var payload =
{
"login" : "login",
"password" : "pass",
};
var options =
{
"method" : "post",
"payload" : payload,
"followRedirects" : false
};
var login = UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://web-site_name/page/" , options);
var sessionDetails = login.getAllHeaders()['Set-Cookie'];
Logger.log(login.getAllHeaders());
here is the part of the code I try to use, to automate export of the data from web-site, i do have proper login and password and able to download file in json (opened in xsl) manually, I've got the address to the downloaded file in network in developer tools, but i have a problem on the first stage - when trying to authorize to the web-site - access denied. I've tried the code, given in answers on stackoverflow, but it still doesn't work.
How to make an url fetch request correctly, depends on the website you want to access and the authentication they uses
In the simplest case, your website requires HTTP basic authentification, in this case the correct syntax would be
var authHeader = 'Basic ' + Utilities.base64Encode(login + ':' + pass);
var options = {
headers: {Authorization: authHeader}
}
If your website uses a different authentication form, you might need to provide an access token.
In any case: the authentication credentials go into headers, not into payload!
payload is the data that you want to post = upload to the website.
If you want export data from the website - that is download data - you do not need a payload and the correct method would be get, not post. Btw., if the method is get, you do not need to specify it.

Vuejs http request always attach a query parameter

Am using a query param authentication with my backed that requires all http requests have the following
access-token=token
AM using vuejs2 resource
So in my request i want to intercept every request and attach the above so i have
Vue.http.interceptors.push(function (request, next) {
//here add the access token in my url string
//am stuck
next()
});
So i expect when i try
this.$http.get('users')
the request should automatically be
users?access-token=token
Also when ihave
this.$http.get('users?pagination=10')
then request url should have
users?pagination=10&access-token=token
How do i intercept all the requests and attach the query parameter access token
THe way i was able to resolve this was by
if(request.url.indexOf("?") === -1){ //means no access token since nothing is passed to the url
request.url = request.url+"?access-token=token";
}else{
if(request.url.indexOf("access-token") === -1){
request.url = request.url+"&access-token=token"
}
}

Google Apps Script: Salesforce API Call

Just finished breakfast and already hit a snag. I'm trying to call the salesforce REST api from my google sheets. I've written a working script locally in python, but converting it into JS, something went wrong:
function authenticateSF(){
var url = 'https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token';
var options = {
grant_type:'password',
client_id:'XXXXXXXXXXX',
client_secret:'111111111111',
username:'ITSME#smee.com',
password:'smee'
};
var results = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
}
Here is the error response:
Request failed for https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token
returned code 400. Truncated server response:
{"error_description":"grant type not
supported","error":"unsupported_grant_type"} (use muteHttpExceptions
option to examine full response) (line 12, file "Code")
Mind you, these exact parameters work fine in my local python script (putting the key values inside quotations).
Here are the relevant docs:
Google Script: Connecting to external API's
Salesforce: REST API guide
Thank you all!
Google's UrlFetchApp object automatically defaults to a GET request. To authenticate, you have to explicitly set in the options the method "post":
function authenticateSF(){
var url = 'https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token';
var payload = {
'grant_type':'password',
'client_id':'XXXXXXXXXXX',
'client_secret':'111111111111',
'username':'ITSME#smee.com',
'password':'smee'
};
var options = {
'method':'post',
'payload':payload
};
var results = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
}
