Utilizing a generated bearer in a web request

Product Forums Katalon Studio
1

I have an API that I’m testing that requires that a bearer token be generated on each run as it has a short expiration. I am able to successfully use one web service request to generate the token and have it written to a variable, but I can’t seem to then use that string in the next API request I do. Currently I’m using the following line, but the second request isn’t receiving the token and responds with an error.

dev apiSecRes = WS.sendrequest(findTestObject('apiObjs/Health_Chk', [('Authorization') : "Bearer ${apiToken}"]))

I also have the variable name set in the Web Request object in my Object Repository. What am I missing?

firstly get the token by firing the request as below

import static com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository.findTestObject
import com.kms.katalon.core.webservice.keyword.WSBuiltInKeywords as WS
import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

// 1. Send request to get the token
def tokenResponse = WS.sendRequest(findTestObject('apiObjs/Health_Chk'))

// 2. Parse the JSON response
def responseBody = tokenResponse.getResponseBodyContent()
def jsonSlurper = new JsonSlurper()
def jsonResponse = jsonSlurper.parseText(responseBody)

// 3. Extract the token from the JSON (key name may vary)
String bearerToken = jsonResponse.token  // or jsonResponse.access_token, etc.

// 4. Store in a Global Variable for reuse
GlobalVariable.authToken = bearerToken

aftr the above , ass the Token via Script

def apiSecRes = WS.sendRequest(findTestObject(
    'apiObjs/Health_Chk', 
    [
      ('Authorization'): "Bearer " + GlobalVariable.authToken
    ]
))

you can still improve the code but just to give you a hint
