Use image from $randomImage variable in API request

Question

I want to get an image from http://lorempixel.com using the $randomImage variable in Postman and use this in another multipart request which accepts a image/png content-type. How can I do that? I think I need to store the image in a variable but I don't know how to do that. I am open to using collections or using pre-request script.

Answer 1

You can store the value of $randomImage into an environment variable: pm.environment.set("myImage", $randomImage));

And then later access it via pm.environment.get("myImage");
