Set Env from response body html

[shawnferry]

I think I'm missing something that should be simple.

I need to pull a value from an initial html response prior to authenticating but I can't figure out where I'm going wrong.

In a dev tools console I can get the value with
document.querySelector("form[action='/api-auth/login/'] > input[name=csrfmiddlewaretoken]").value

However, I can't figure out how to extract the same value from the html body.

Hi @shawnferry

I think you should use custom filter and indexOf function

Custom filter - text | getText

Then in custom filter

var index1 = input.indexOf("middlewareToken")
Input = input.substring(index1)
var index2 = input.indexOf("</input>")
input = input.substring(0, index2)
console.log(input)

the above is rough idea how to extract text, I will research and see if there is any html library for extracting text.

Now you can import any Node module in Custom Filters, If you there is any node module for html parsing you can use it.
