callbacks in jasmine E2E testing using restler

Question

I am testing restful api's using restler and jasmine nodejs modules . I have created test files to test a single api call and test group of api calls that need input from each other . How can I provide the feedback / output from one such api call to another api call using proper jasmine describe - it - expect block format . If I try put verifyOtp function in another it-block after getPhoneOtp then it don't execute after success of getting the OTP and thus fails . Right now I am reading the outputs in the console only and not able to use jasmine expect function since I am not able to include verifyOtp function in a it-block . Any suggestions would be appreciated . Here is the code .

var restler = require('restler');
var fs = require('fs');
var colors = require('colors');
var util = require('util');
var config = require('./config.js') ;
var baseUrl = config.baseUrl ;

describe("LEC phone api's tests", function () {

    var _token;
    var phone = Math.round(Math.random() * 1000000000);
    var otp;

    console.log("Test started on "+baseUrl) ;



    function verifyOtp(otpPassed) {

        var success = 0 ;
            restler.post(baseUrl + "phone/verifyotp", {
                data: {
                    _token: _token,
                    phoneNumber: phone,
                    otp: otpPassed

                },
                headers: {
                    'X-Requested-With': 'XMLHttpRequest'
                }
            }).on("success", function (data) {
                success = 1 ;
                console.log(colors.blue("Success of verify otp")) ;

                console.log(data);

                var userInfo = {
                    firstName: "John",
                    lastName: "Doe",

                };


            }).on("complete", function (data) {
                if(!success)
                console.log(colors.red(util.inspect(data))) ;
            });
    };


    it("should get the token", function () {
        var success = 0 ;
        restler.get(baseUrl + "/basic/token")
            .on("success", function (data) {
                success = 1;
                console.log(colors.blue("Success of get the Token")) ;
                console.log(data);
                _token = data.token;


            }).on("complete", function (data) {
                if(!success)
                    console.log(colors.red(util.inspect(data))) ;
            });

    });

    it("should get the OTP", function () {
        var success = 0 ;
        restler.post(baseUrl + "phone/getphoneotp", {
            data: {
                _token: _token,
                phoneNumber: phone
            },
            headers: {

            }
        }).on("success", function (data) {
            success = 1;
            console.log(colors.blue("Success of get the OTP")) ;
            console.log(data);
            otp = data.otp;

            verifyOtp(otp);
        }).on("complete", function (data) {
            if(!success)
                console.log(colors.red(util.inspect(data))) ;        });
    });

I read a few answers on stack overflow about asynchronous testing in jasmine and was able to write the code with the help of that . Here is the code .

var restler = require('restler');
var fs = require('fs');
var colors = require('colors');
var util = require('util');
var config = require('./config.js');
var baseUrl = config.baseUrl;

describe("LEC phone api's tests", function () {

    var apiCall;
    var _token;
    var phone = Math.round(Math.random() * 1000000000);
    var otp, otpPassed;

    console.log("Test started on " + baseUrl);
    it("should get the token", function () {


            restler.get(baseUrl + "/basic/token")
                .on("success", function (data) {
                    success = 1;
                    console.log(colors.blue("Success of get the Token"));
                    console.log(data);
                    _token = data.token;

                    apiCall = 1;

                }).on("complete", function (data) {
                    if (!success)
                        console.log(colors.red(util.inspect(data)));
                });

    });

    it("should get the otp", function () {

        waitsFor(function () {
            return apiCall == 1;
        });
        runs(function () {
            var success = 0;
            restler.post(baseUrl + "phone/getphoneotp", {
                data: {
                    _token: _token,
                    phoneNumber: phone
                },
                headers: {
                    'X-Requested-With': 'XMLHttpRequest'
                }
            }).on("success", function (data) {
                success = 1;
                console.log(colors.blue("Success of get the OTP"));
                console.log(data);
                otp = data.otp;


                otpPassed = otp ;

                apiCall = 2 ;
            }).on("complete", function (data) {
                if (!success)
                    console.log(colors.red(util.inspect(data)));
            });
        });

    });

    it("should verify the otp", function () {


        var success = 0;
        waitsFor(function() {
           return apiCall == 2 ;

                console.log(data);

                apiCall = 3 ;

            }).on("complete", function (data) {

                    console.log(colors.red(util.inspect(data)));

                console.log(stats);
                console.info("user register started");
