Setting a durable?

[joshuaziering]

I have an endpoint that returns a Hash that I need to use in subsequent request. I think the Durable is the right element to use. The hash is in a formatted JSON response body. Why can't I access that response body in the durables element? Here's my setup:

I have the Parse Body set to auto in the first endpoint. What am I missing? I dont even see an option to interact with the response body.

What am I missig?

I guess what's happening is that you haven't saved an example of the response of the request. You see that exclamation mark on the "Check to get a Iaanc" request? That means you didn't saved an example. Navigate to the request itself and execute it in order to get the proper, expected and correct response body. Once you do that the exclamation mark will be gone and now the next attached block will know how the response body should look like and you'll be able to select data Record > body > etc. desired value.

@tomalazarov / @saswatds : sorry, know it’s cheeky but it’s been a couple days and I just can’t get this working :(

[saswatds]

Hey @DiscoMcDisco Can you confirm that the language selection on the Examples Tab is set to JSON?

[DiscoMcDisco]

correct yes :)

[saswatds]

This is very strange. Are there any other examples present for the same request? These are the only two problematics vectors for data type inference to fail. Please reach out to help@postman.com if the problem persists, our support team can connect to further debug this issue.

Hi ,
If for same request the response fields might change. In that use case if i save both the output with "save as example", i am not getting option to select many of the fields from the body.

[saswatds]

Hey @sunilvp. Yeah, currently, this is a limitation with flows. It cannot identify different examples. It just uses the first example that it finds with a 200 status code. We are working to improve the type system to work with all these different discriminated types.

Until we figure that out, if possible, you could define the different variants of the same request as separate requests.

Got it thanks a lot.

Hi all,

can you help on my scenario:

1. SentRequest -> Login , we get back the bearer JWT token ad saved as durable variable
   

2. I want to call another "SendRequest" block, being an authenticated service, i need to pass the bearer token on headers, setting the Authorization key how can I do that ?
   

[DiscoMcDisco]

Nope, I don’t often use examples and flows is making me aware I need both them and possibly to shift to environments variables. This call is one of very few with a saved valid example. Note: when the example is saved it defaults to auto, which looks to be text. It’s set to JSON though now, once saved and saved again Russ Watson-Thomas 07967 180 603
