Referencing Request Values

Referencing request values

There are three types of request values:

1. HTTP Request Header values

{
  "source": "header",
  "name": "Header-Name"
}

2. HTTP Query parameters

{
  "source": "url",
  "name": "parameter-name"
}

3. Payload (JSON or form-value encoded)

{
  "source": "payload",
  "name": "parameter-name"
}

Note: For JSON encoded payload, you can reference nested values using the dot-notation. For example, if you have following JSON payload

{
  "commits":
  [
     {
       "commit":
       {
         "id": 1
       }
     },
     {
       "commit":
       {
         "id": 2
       }
     }
  ]
}

You can reference the first commit id as

 {
   "source": "payload",
   "name": "commits.0.commit.id"
 }

If the payload contains a key with the specified name "commits.0.commit.id", then the value of that key has priority over the dot-notation referencing.
