Download Postman or an API client of your choice

Start by creating a new Postman Collection

• ServiceDesk API

Create a new Environment

Create a new Request

Token

POST

http://{server}/{api}/api/authorization/token

Add a Header

Body

{
	"Username": "admin@symantec.com",
	"Password": "###"
}

Response

"GUID"

Now the useful part, in Tests you can store data that is returned in the Response, in variables. Just use some JS to parse the body returned from the call and store it in a new variable called "token".

var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
postman.setGlobalVariable("token", jsonData);
