Using Scripts | Apidog

Intro to Scripts

Apidog contains a Javascript-based scripting engine. You can use scripts (JavaScript code snippets) to add dynamic behavior to API requests or collection tests.

A preprocessor script is a code snippet that is executed before the request is sent. This is useful when you want to include a timestamp in the request header or send a random alphanumeric string in the URL parameters.

Postprocessor Scripts

Postprocessor script is a code snippet that is executed after the request has been sent. It is mainly used to assert whether the result returned by the request is correct or not, write the result data returned by the request to environment variables, etc.
