Hi [ravi.b23](http://forum.katalon.com/u/ravi.b23),

Please review this post for your needs. You can get the response data and assign to the global variable.

**Example script:**

> response = WS.sendRequest(findTestObject(‘Employees/Login backoffice and get access token’))  
> WS.verifyResponseStatusCode(response, 200)  
> JsonSlurper slurper = new JsonSlurper()  
> Map parsedJson = slurper.parseText(response.getResponseText())  
> String access\_token = parsedJson.access\_token  
> GlobalVariable.Token = access\_token

> Hi [Julian\_Wladyczynski](http://forum.katalon.com/u/Julian_Wladyczynski) Please retry by following this step: 1. Assigned access\_token value to the GlobalVariable response = WS.sendRequest(findTestObject('Employees/Login backoffice and get access token')) WS.verifyResponseStatusCode(response, 200) JsonSlurper slurper = new JsonSlurper() Map parsedJson = slurper.parseText(response.getResponseText()) String access\_token = parsedJson.access\_token GlobalVariable.Token = access\_token 2. On the GET request, set the Variable as below.
