Hello, you just need to process headers from 1st response, and store token in variable so it can be used in construction of header in following request something like this: ```auto def token = response.getHeaderFields().tokenCookie myCookie = new Cookie("token", token) new Response = WS.sendRequest(findTestObject(ro.getObjectId(),[('COOKIE'): myCookie])) ``` i dont know how exacly your token looks like and if you can send it as cookie or you need to set it directly as headers this is request definition ![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/katalon-forum/editor/4u/5jmpon1hvoby.png "Image: https://s3.amazonaws.com/katalon-forum/editor/4u/5jmpon1hvoby.png") [image.png](https://s3.amazonaws.com/katalon-forum/editor/4u/5jmpon1hvoby.png) ---

thanks, where I have to write the code, I have to create a test case and define the path of the object get or pos where I wait for the token? ---

How do I define the route to the object, is it right there? **def** request = WS._sendRequest_(_findTestObject_(‘User/GetUserDetails’)) ---

that looks good… just small fix (wording) result of WS.sendRequest() is response - so you will not be mistaken by yourself when processing variable ---

I have one more question, how do you know this code, where will you get the token? that is, where do I define the API url, would I need to write a code where I wrote the credentials of the API in order to have the token and then tomasen the token a global variable? ---

that depends on type of authentication. in my case i needed to authenticate against kerberos server, i used libraries for that purpose. if you have OAuth 1.0 you can set that directly in request definition, otherwise you need to use existing library or write your own. ---
