Hello, I’m having difficulties in storing my token in variable. Could you please help me?

Here’s my Token response:

What I want to do is store my token in a variable. In that way, I can just call the variable token whenever I needed it in other API.

Thanks,  
Jean

As I know, there are an option to use jsonslurper to parse a response  
And then you could create a global variable and save the content of “access\_token” element in it

Hello Valeriy, I tried using jsonslurper but it didn’t work for me… Are there any other solutions? Can you please give some example? Thank You!

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper  
…  
class AuthenticationAssertion {  
private static void Assert (UserName, Password){  
…  
def shitresponse = WS.sendRequest(findTestObject(‘API/Test/UserLogin’, [(‘Login’): UserName, (‘Password’): Password])).getResponseText()

```
  JsonSlurper slurper = new JsonSlurper()

  Map parsedJson = slurper.parseText(shitresponse)

  GlobalVariable.Auth_SessionID = parsedJson.sessionId  

```

–  
Here API/Test/UserLogin - path to a POST request:  
{“pool”:{“email”: “${Login}”, “password”: “${Password}”}}  
the same as have to be send when user trying to log in.  
First I define a variable for response. I had big troubles first time, forgive about variable names.  
GlobalVariable.Auth\_SessionID = parsedJson.\*\*sessionId \*\*  
Here sessionId is just a element in the JSON response (like yours access\_token)

I have sample to you,

\*\*My Scenario \*\*HTTP PostBody Header  
**Step 1** Login for get Token  
**Step 2** Send Token to GetNews APIs

**TestCase script below**

**’Call Login URL’**

def Login = WS.sendRequest(findTestObject(‘Login/Login’, [(‘username’) : ‘YouUsername’, (‘password’) : ‘YouPassword’]))

**’Parse Json’**

def jsonSlurper = new JsonSlurper()

Login = jsonSlurper.parseText(Login.getResponseText())

Authtoken = Login.token

**’Print Token’**

println(Authtoken)

**’Print Token To Katalon Report’**

logger.logPassed(Authtoken)

**’POST HTTPHeader’**

def GetNews = ((findTestObject(‘News/Get\_News\_List’)) as RequestObject)

def HTTPHeader = new ArrayList()

HTTPHeader.add(new TestObjectProperty(‘Content-Type’, ConditionType.EQUALS, ‘application/json’))

HTTPHeader.add(new TestObjectProperty(‘Authorization’, ConditionType.EQUALS, “$Authtoken”))

GetNews.setHttpHeaderProperties(HTTPHeader)

**’Make POST Request’**

response = WS.sendRequest(GetNews)

**’Parse Json’**

def jsonSlurper1 = new JsonSlurper()

response = jsonSlurper.parseText(response.getResponseText())

GetnewsResponse = response.data

**’Print Json News Response’**

println(GetnewsResponse.toString())

Good luck SIr, 🙂 :)\*\*
