Scripts & Automation

Pre-Request Scripts

Scripts that run before the request is sent. Use them to:

• Set dynamic headers or parameters
• Generate timestamps or random values
• Log debug information

Test Scripts

Scripts that run after the response is received. Use them to:

• Extract values from the response and save as variables
• Validate response status codes and body
• Chain requests by passing data between them

Script API

VortexHQ scripts use a Postman-compatible JavaScript API:

// Access response
const body = vx.response.json();
const status = vx.response.status;

// Set variables
vx.variables.set('userId', body.data.id);
vx.variables.set('token', body.token);

// Get variables
const baseUrl = vx.variables.get('base_url');

// Assertions
vx.test('Status is 200', () => {
    vx.expect(status).toBe(200);
});

vx.test('Has user data', () => {
    vx.expect(body.data).toBeDefined();
    vx.expect(body.data.name).toBeType('string');
});

Console Output

Use console.log() in scripts — output appears in the response console panel.
