Capture a header value from the response in Jmeter and re-use - performance

I'm calling a REST request for authentication. And I need to get the session ID sending on response; in order to reuse that in my next request.
session id comes in Response header. When I use view result tree, this is not showing header parameters(response body has no data).
When googling I found a method using Regular expression Extractor method, but seems it works only when data in response body.

Nope, Regular expression extractor can search in headers also. You need to specify where to search.
See example,
This will search in headers and you can specify in main samples, sub samples also.

How I extract the x-csrf-token in request header and pass to post https request in jmeter?

I can't extract the x-csrf-token and pass . I got error like csrf token expired [![enter image description here]
Anyone give some exact ans and support.
Your question doesn't contain sufficient level of details so it cannot be answered comprehensively.
First of all check your ${x} JMeter Variable value using Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination
Then check the request header using the aforementioned View Results Tree listener. The token should be exactly the same as the one returned in the previous request.
Also it seems that your token comes in JSON-like structure, JSON is not a regular language so it would be a better idea considering using JSON Extractor instead of Regular Expression Extractor

Jmeter HTTP Request sample and SkipToken

I am using HTTP request sampler for API performance testing. My APIs might return a response containing the skiptoken
If response contains the skiptoken, I need to call the API again using the skip token and capture the performance metrics. I required calling the API until there are no skiptoken available in the response.
Please let me know how I can implement this in JMeter
You can add a Post-Processor, for example JSON Extractor, which will extract the skpitoken into a JMeter Variable from the API response.
If the variable is defined you can add If Controller and send another request to the API with the variable from the previous step.
Something like this:
You have to use any of the Post processor according to your API response content. e.g, Json extractor, Regex extractor, Boundary based extractor, whichever suits well.
Then you need to use While Controller instead of If controller. The While controller it will keep executing the API inside it, until the last skiptoken gets retrieved/ not found - refer the screenshot
If you use If controller - It will execute only once and proceed with other APIs
Since, I don't know the exact response body structure - you can use Regex to fetch the value, something like the below
"#odata.nextLink":"([^ ]+)"

JMeter - Unable to click Parameter tab when added Body Data

Why I cannot click on Parameters tab in HTTP Request section after I insert JSON body data in Body Data tab? I tried to define correlation and of course this will require us to define the variable as well. Just wondering, after I'm done with correlation part, how can I insert the variable in Parameters if it is disabled?
You can't send Parameters and Body Data, you must choose only one option of sending request body
If you need to send extra parameters in additional to request body then use query parameters in Path field, for example
path?parameter1=value&parameter2=value2
If you want to variablize/correlate the JSON request body - you can put the relevant JMeter Functions/Variables directly into "Body Data" tab
as you can see all the functions/variables are getting replaced by their respective values.
Also most probably you're getting JSON as the response so it makes sense to consider switching to JSON Extractor or even better JSON JMESPath Extractor for the correlation.

How to pass the response header to authorized api using Jmeter?

I am using Regular Expression Extractor for extracting the header values.
Here is my test plan structure.
I am getting a response in login api is
I want to extract the SRToke, Id1, Id2 and Id3 values from above response header. So I have used Regular Expression Extractor as below
I have also used BeanShell PostProcessor
Now I am getting the error 401 in result
Please give me the solution, what I have done wrong here?
First you need to extract the variables from Response Header section of your Login request. Please refer how to capture from here. https://stackoverflow.com/a/57391175/4481179
After extracting, use HTTP Header Manager as a child of Eventlist Sampler and pass that extracted value as shown below:
You get an error about 401 because you did not add authorized success. You need to know the flow of the system. Maybe its need another parameter beside one parameter BEARER like you.
I think Beanshell won't be required as you are not correlating from cookies, try to find the missing header under the 401 transaction something like Authorization and place the correlated variable there.

How can i pass dynamic value through Referer URL for HTTP Header Manager in jmeter3.0?

My referer url for My listener request: http://..*.***:****/ecloudbaseweb//app/managecourse?courseid=815
Referer url in Http Header Manager
In the above url, the course id dynamic value.
My scenario:
Step1: I have updated course id for dynamic parameter and updated details for regular expression extractor for manage course http request
Attachment for your reference:
In this configuration, How can i set dynamic values through Referer URL for HTTP Header Manager in jmeter3.0.?
Kindly give me a solution for this scenario
Thanks,
Vairamuthu.
Dear sir,
I have updated, your comments and after changes the below issue occurred..please verify the attachment..
You can use values captured using Regular Expression Extractor in Header manager also, the same way you use in samplers.
Refer the screen shot:
Note: I observed that courseId (AA) is captured in 78 manageCourse request and used in the same request. This might cause in failure as you have not captured the value yet, you can't use it. You need to keep the Regular Expression Extractor in earlier requests than 78, might be under 77 newCoursecreate.
In Jmeter, First sampler is processed, and then the post processor. So, keep the Regular Expression Extractor (post processor) in the sampler (HTTP request), in which response the value (courseID) you want to retrieve is present.
