What do you mean by ā€œget the json fileā€? Get its name? Get its content?

Hi @angelo.dabu

My post can help: How to use Global Variable directly in Object Repository URL

  1. Add Global Variable in Profile (ā€œG_fileNameā€).
  2. Add Local Variable (ā€œfileā€ - to match yours URL) in request definition (Object Repository) and set type ā€œGlobal Variableā€. Select Global Variable, created in 1. in Default Value. This will link Local with Global.
  3. Loop in TC.

Code not tested, it is just idea:

import com.kms.katalon.core.testdata.TestDataFactory
import com.kms.katalon.core.webservice.keyword.WSBuiltInKeywords as WS

myData = TestDataFactory.findTestData('listOfFiles')
myData.allData.forEach()
{
	GlobalVariable.G_fileName = it[1] //Yes you will get array
	res = WS.sendRequest(findTestObject('fileRequestName'))
	//Do what you need with res
}
