How to run several requests in a kind of loop statement

[anfisc]

I have the requirement to send nearly the same POST request to a backend system several times. The only difference is a varialble that I have set. @group_number = 0051 Within the payload of my request I would have something like "group_number" : "{{group_number}}" Currently I am editing the value and send the request manually. Is there a way to do this in a programmatic way? Sending N http requests thereby changing a variable so that the payload changes? Kind regards, Andre

It would be nice if the API looks like this to keep my tool compatible with rest-client

how can it use in POST body ??

Can this be configured to make the requests asynchronously so that httpyac doesn't wait for the responses?

Any updates on this?
