In Postman, you can use JavaScript code to fetch the current date. Here’s one way to do it:

  1. Create a new request in Postman.
  2. Enter the following code in the “Pre-request Script” section of the request.
let currentDate = new Date().toJSON().slice(0,10);
pm.variables.set("currentDate", currentDate);
  1. Use {{currentDate}} in the URL or Headers of the request to reference the current date.

For example, you can use it in the URL like this:

https://api.example.com/data?date={{currentDate}}

In this way, every time a request is sent, {{currentDate}} will be replaced with the current date.
