Indeed, you're a great teacher . Thank you for the video, it was very helpful for beginners

[Runeblade]

I would like to add that since we now have to use post on session instead of just the post command, you need to change "data=${body}" to "json={body}" for it to work. The syntax has changed.

Hi Sir, Thanks for the video. I have one doubt here.
In my case ${response.content} is a JSON response and I need to extract value from the specific 'key'.
I tried to use line#25 and modified it as below(dictionary flow) -
Attempt #1: ${respstrcontent}= convert to string ${response.content}
${responseidnum} get from dictionary ${respstrcontent} createdAt
Attempt #2: ${respstrcontent} get from dictionary ${response.content} createdAt

Looks like ${response.content} is not an dictionary. I can use the traditional way to get the data based on the index., but is it not possible to get the value based on the key? (the way ${response.headers} works)
Kindly provide guidance and help.

How we can take the value from the response, save it to variable and put it into the body of other requests, OR put it into the URL of other requests?? Please record a video for that!!!
