How to store and reuse cookies in Postman?

Question

I'm using Postman to test and play with an API. For the login url, the API requires sending a POST request with `username` and `password` as fields. I do this, and I get a `200` response with the message that I am logged in. I then try another request to get user data. However, I get a response that I am not logged in. I realized this problem is most likely because the cookie that is sent to me when I log in is not included in the next Postman request. So my question is, how do I save and include cookies for future requests?

Accepted Answer

Store the cookie value you want to use in a global variable.In `Tests` tab of login request, write

```
postman.setGlobalVariable('key', postman.getResponseCookie("cookieName").value);
```

Pass along with the value in the `Headers` tab as a cookie in get user request:

```
Cookie | cookieName={{key}}
```
