I'm new to Postman Client and have created a GET Request where URL is as following:
https://www.foo.bar/api/script.php/1/1
The PHP File identifies the two parameters and the response is okay. As you can see, there are two parameters for identifier "1" and type "1" that I set manually above.
Now I wanted to "automatize" it. In Postman Client, there is a button to the right of the URL: "Params". I suppose, that here, I have to insert the two parameter values, but I don't the syntax how to do this for "key", "value".
Is there a guideline or step-by-step documentation how to use Parameters?
either you use that button to create two parameters with their value (let's say param1 and param2) and your url will update as follows:
https://www.foo.bar/api/script.php/get?param1=1¶m2=1
or create global variables (click on the eye at the top right corner) and use them in your url as follows:
https://www.foo.bar/api/script.php/{{param1}}/{{param2}}
one of those should work ...

-currently testing through Postman-
want a guide for this as:
i do not want to expose the parameters and their values in URL.
when using URI Template like myuri/:bindvar (single bind variable) then i can send parameters in Body.
but when creating Handler's parameters ( multiple ) i can get successful message and update sending those through Parameter tab but i can't access successfully sending those parameters through Body, parameter values are null.
the sample from oracle have 3 Templates contain bind variables in URI but all are have single bind variable.
You only need to supply the values you want to return as response
Otherwise, there's nothing special about coding a PUT handler in ORDS compared to a GET or POST - You just need to build up your PLSQL block to do the work, in this case an UPDATE, and then build out the response you want to send back to your REST API consumer.
Full example and code here
I have a URL that in the browser shows like this https://localhost:3000/location#valueIwant=1234.
I am trying to get access to the valueIwant value but all of the items I try ctx.request.path, ctx.request.href, etc but all seem to not have the values after #. How do I parse this part of the url.
Also this is coming from a redirect.
Everything after the # is not sent to the server. The purpose of the fragment is to create a link to a specific subsection of a page.
If you want to send specific parameters to the server, the right way to do it is to use the query part (everything after ?), not the fragment part. This is by design.
I'm trying to create a simple stress test using JMeter. I have mostly GET requests and a couple POST requests. My main goal is to make this test as reusable as possible. I want to implement it in a way that the user would have to provide a CSV file with the following headers:
method;path;postBody
The values would look something like:
GET;/path/to/resource;''
POST;/path/to/resource;'{"key":"value","key":"value","key":"value"}'
Now POST (PUT, PATCH etc ..) bodies differ from one request to another. Providing ${postBody} to Body Data tab does not work "${postBody}" as well.
Is there a way to achieve this? Command line solutions are more than welcome as well.
EDIT: To clarify, I'm using the UI interface. When I input ${postBody} in the Body Data tab the UI complains. When switching from the Body Data tab to another one I get the following prompt:
Remove "'" around the request and it should work.
Regarding the warning you get, it is not an error, it is just that in JMeter those 2 tabs are exclusive:
Parameters tabs is for input of parameters in the form as name=value
Body data is for your kind of requirement
So can you test my hypothesis which is to remove the quote around the request in CSV file ?
If it still fails, please show the logs.
You can remain in Body Data tab,
Add after pathPost your optional query parameters for GET request:
${pathPost}?${getPramaters}
Don't worry about the ? it's just seperate path from parameters
Also consider changing variable name to path, more suitable because it can be POST.
In JSON , seperate between values while in CSV default is also ,
I suggest you can your CSV delimiter, In CSV Data Set Config Choose different Delimiter as ; and add your data in CSV accordingly (remove extra ' characters):
POST;/path/to/resource;{"key":"value","key":"value","key":"value"}
Notice: Allow quoted data keep default value False
I can successfully pass parameters through Jmeter as long as I embed them in the path like so:
But when I try to add them using the GUI, it doesn't work:
I have tried combinations of encode/unecode, as well as adding "?" to the path, but the result is the same - the server replies that the required parameter is missing. Any ideas?
This is a post request so pass this name value into Body data (click on body data tab) in json format
{
"Taskid": "9000"
}
or
{
"Taskid": 9000
}
if the type of 9000 is string then choose 1st option other wise 2nd, better to try with both options to check which one is working
Other approach:
try to change the method to get with same parameters as passed in snapshot2 (attached by you) but it might be possible this request does not supports get method then in that situation you have to post it only by passing in the Path field (as shown by you in snapshot 1) or in body data tab
I would like to read the exact value of a variable I use to pass through an HTTP Request. I first read in many values of variables using the CSV Data Set Config. For the username, it is in the form of an email address. So, I have a variable called "email" in the Data Set Config. In the actual HTTP Request, for "name", I call it "username". For the "Value" field for this same "username", I added a time() function to it like this so I would end up creating unique users in my tests:
${email}${__time()
When I view the "Request" in a View Results Tree, I can see my parameter is listed correctly:
username=email1%40email.com1390854377360
I do not care if this is correct in real world terms. I already know that is not a valid email. That is ok for now.
What I want to know is how can I log that email that I just created on the fly? I would like to not have to pull in the whole request every time also and then use some type of Regular Expression extractor. It just seems like there should be an easy way to do this.
I think there are 2 ways,
Beanshell Pre/Post processors : you can write custom code in which you can log all your variables in some custom log file
Simple data writer : you can configure it and check save url,save field names,save response data field checkboxes that will give you complete data but in that later postprocessing on result file is required to get all usernames (email in your case).
first approach is easier and allows you create your own logging format(easy to retrieve and use somewhere else).
second approach is somewhat tedious and requires post processing.
