How to do a loop with intellij http_client?

Question

I would like to execute several http requests (in one http file) with intellij http client in a loop based on an array of strings in an environment file. Is this possible? If yes, how? Thx, Alex

Answer 1

Yes, its possible. for example this will send 5 GET requests one for each id from an array.

< {%
    request.variables.set("id", [1,2,3,4,5])
%}
GET http://localhost:8080/books/{{id}}
