Multi-requests HTTP Synthetic monitor with authentication

olegus — Fri, 10 Nov 2023 09:33:04 GMT

We need to monitor an API with a following workflow-

1. Login - POST with body containing credentials and other auth data

2. API method call - GET

3. Logout - POST without a body

I can create chained HTTP requests but API uses cookie authentication and I cannot find a way to set a cookie header to consequent requests after successful login.

Is it possible at all to implement this scenario ?

Any hints appreciated,

Thanks

@olegus, You should be able to do it with Javascript. Some examples for insipration 😉
