I have a GET Request that returns a fixed paginated number of results. To process all of the pages, I would need to use the available X-Next-Token.

I have the X-Next-Token set as a an empty variable in the environment.

In Postman's Tests Section, I can see that I can pull the X-Next-Token

Tests

next_token = pm.response.headers.get("X-Next-Token");
console.log(next_token)
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("X-Next-Token", next_token);
console.log(pm.request.headers)

Postman Console

I've tried to this solution

postman.setEnvironmentVariable("X-Next-Token", pm.response.headers.get("X-Next-Token"));

When the X-Next-Token variable is empty it seems to populate initially. But it doesn't change subsequently.

The request URL would need the variable added as a param for it to know that value `...&X-Next-Token={{X-Next-Token}}` – Danny Dainton Apr 27 '22 at 19:01
I have a Param key called "X-Next-Token". – Hofbr Apr 27 '22 at 20:35

And do you have the Postman variable syntax, like I have it, without that you're not going to be about to use the value that you're setting in the variable. – Danny Dainton Apr 27 '22 at 20:54
Yes I do. but it only seems to update once. It doesn't update a second time. – Hofbr Apr 28 '22 at 03:57
