Question

I am trying to get the data from a period of time. They are set to actual dates but I wanted to know if it was possible to always have it set to today's date without having to go back and change it every time. query params

Answer 1

You can add the following in the "Pre-request Script" heading below the URL field.

postman.setGlobalVariable('currentDate', (new Date()).toISOString());

Then add the variable wherever you are wanting to use the current date

{{currentDate}}

For example passing the current date as a query param

www.example.com/path?date={{currentDate}}
