Script module allows you to set a Javascript variables in the probe request and the same can be used in other request fields like URI, HTTP method, Request body & headers.
Variables which are set in the first probe step can be used in the following steps.
How to add script variables

- Editing an existing probe
Usage of script variables
(refer number pointers in the above image)
- Script field can be found in Advanced section
- You can add your script in the provided textarea, make sure you add a valid Javascript and it passes JSLINT
- Currently system supports only btoa and crypto npm modules. In case, if we support any other npm modules, it will be notified in this section
- Script field accepts only 5000 characters, watch out the counter while you copy & paste the script
- Script variables which are declared can be used in request URI, Header & body. Also it can be used in the forth coming probe steps
Example:
Declare variables:
var keyString = 'name' + ':' + '123';
var encodedValue = btoa(keyString);
Usage in request URI:
http://testorama-test.apigee.net/httpbin?name=${script.encodedValue}
This is really cool. I was on a webinar with AWS, and I asked them what they thought about Apigee Test.
His reply is that combining Apigee Test, mobile apm, Apigee Edge's analytics, and AWS Cloudwatch makes a killer combo for devops.
What is the recommended way to request a token before call an api?
You can make the request token call in the first step and then store the token in the extract variable.
