Somewhere in the HTML response there is an element:
<input name="__RequestVerificationToken" type="hidden" value="I_NEED_THIS" />
How can I get it's value using Postman?
This is my code but I'm not happy with what it returns
const $ = cheerio.load(pm.response.text());
console.log($("title").text()); // get title to check if it works
console.log($("__RequestVerificationToken").attr('value')); //returns undefined
console.log($("__RequestVerificationToken").text()); //returns null
"__RequestVerificationToken" is not a valid selector since it is a name attribute you're looking for.
Instead, use the valid CSS selector like this:
const $ = cheerio.load(pm.response.text()).;
console.log($("input[name='__RequestVerificationToken']").attr('value'));
console.log($("input[name='__RequestVerificationToken']").text());
