That's super helpful, I was struggling with passing a JSON object as a variable in Postman and you explained how to use JSON.stringify perfectly. Thank you!

Excellent video and very informative. I have started using variables for my testing in JSON part of api automation. Your actual course is brilliant.

Excellent explanation. Thank you and best wishes

Thank you, man. I was missing the stringify step.

Hi Valentin,
At 6:55 when you set your variable you use pm.environment.set("address", JSON.strinfify (address));
In the postman version I am using there is no strinfify they have stringify.
When I send the request, exactly the same way you wrote it, I get an error Syntax error.
I change the strinfify for stringify and still the same error. I tried curly brackets, parenthesis, same error.
Can you tell me what is the right way to write this variable please. I have the postman version 10.17.1

Thank you

Thanks mate. Have a great day. Can you share with us how to handle dynamic data I.e take response from one request and user some values for assertion in other response or some values to pass as request in other request

Hi, I'm trying to add +1 to the value store in a global variable. I tried using the below script but it is just appending the number to the value. Can you please advise on this?


var addressId = pm.globals.get("addressId");
console.log(addressId); //value stored in "addressId" = 24556
var addressIdDeleted = add(addressId, 1);
// Value in "addressIdDeleted" should be 24557 but it is getting displayed as 245561


pm.test("Address is deleted", function () {
var jsonData = pm.response.json();

});


But for the below code the value for 'b' is displayed as expected as 4.
/*var a = 3;
var b = a + 1;
console.log(b);*/


Though i tried in the same way, it doesn't work for me in the above scenario.

I did your example and I have also a little training_mysql -database in my computer. If I give with postman
{
"name": "JSON User",
"phone":"536345543",
"street": "JSON Street 777",
"number": "4455",
"zipcode":"753563"
}
All went well and data is stored to database --> OK

Second test with Postman (var address -part included): I can see from the Console Log that request body is ok (all values are there) but fields street, number and zipcode are empty (NULL) in database. Does variable "var address" need some more brain to "Pre-request script" -part?
body
{
"name": "JSON User",
"phone":"536345543",
"address":{{address}}
}

Pre-request script
var address = {
"street": "JSON Street 777",
"number": "4455",
"zipcode":"753563"
}
pm.environment.set("address", JSON.stringify(address));
