    This is my readyapi request header 

     And below is my postman request header. well, there are hidden keys and values which i did not given in readyapi. Do you mean to give those hidden keys and values in readyapi header as well?

    The issue has been solved 

    Missing Authorization name instead of Token. 

     

    it was given Token instead of Authorization and missing Bearer in front of actual token.

     

    thanks

Hey angvarghese,

Considering the content of the error response you generated it appears there is a problem with the a parameter that builds the content of your authorization header.

What i do when i have different results in readyapi/soapui compared with postman is to execute the failing step in postman, go into postman's console and grab the full RAW requests details (so thats payload, full URL and Headers....the Headers are typically the issue when stuff works in postman but not readyapi/soapui) and keep them for later comparison.

Then execute the test step in readyapi/soapui again grabbing the full RAW details so i can then compare what is being published by postman compared with what is being published by readyapi/soapui. Thia approach typically indicates the differences (ignoring postmans stupid default headers) and the cause of the issue.

Try the above so you see what i mean, however id suggest you dont even need to do the above to resolve this. The issue is the userid parameter is your authentication/authorisation setup.

You just need to fix that
