Extract Variables
Pre-request operations are performed before the request is sent, allowing for custom scripts and database connections. These are commonly used for setting input parameters, printing data, etc.
Post-response operations take place after a request is sent and are typically used for setting variables, performing assertions, and similar tasks. They also support custom scripts and database connections.
Extracting specific fields from an interface's response and setting them as variables can be done similarly to scripting.
pm.globals.set("key", "value");
