Response times from PostMan scripts

Question

Is there a simple way to capture the Response times for the requests and responses in a PostMan script?

I am trying to do the following by creating a Collection and then in the Tests, writing the following script to capture and put the value in an Environment variable:

postman.setEnvironmentVariable("MyURLRequest", (responseTime));

This provides me the value in the Environment variable, but I need to specifically go there everytime to check the time.

The other way I have tried is to use the 'Runner' on the collection and get the response times from the "totalRequestTime" value in the exported results. But as I am running ~50 requests, it becomes hard to capture the same for each individual request.

Has anyone tried this earlier and been able to get a better way to capture and export a response time value for each request sent out?

Answer 1

You could use the built-in pm.response.responseTime function to get the times.

Add it to a console.log(pm.response.responseTime) in a test, to try it out or assign this to an env/global variable.

You could even (it's a little bit over kill though) do this:

If you didn't want it in each test, this could be added to the collection. On the latest version, press edit on the collection to see the options.

I could achieve this on Newman using below code:

"event": [
    {
    "listen": "test",
    "script": {
        "id": "aaaaaaaa-1111-4444-aaaa-000000011111",
        "exec": [                   
                  "var rtm = pm.response.responseTime",
                  "var rts = rtm/1000",

                  "pm.test(\"Check response time and Status\", function () {",
                  "pm.response.to.have.status(200);",

                  "console.log(\"Response time in mili seconds\" , rtm);",
                  "console.log(\"Response time in seconds\" , rts);",
                   "});"    
                ]
            }
     }
]
