You can achieve this using Postman’s [JavaScript APIs in your request scripts](/docs/tests-and-scripts/write-scripts/postman-sandbox-reference/overview/).

The **pm** object provides most of the functionality for testing your request and response data, the response data is accessible in the **Tests** tab of the request, as the scripts will be executed once a response has been received.

You can use the **pm.response** object to access the data returned in the response for the current request.
