Yes ...when i log the err .. its null.
But the response shows a 401 , which is an authentication error. Also I print the auth token which turns out to be null. Hence I believe the token is not getting passed to the 2nd API .

That's wired, let's try making the first request in a before hook, and then use the token where needed.

You can search here and see an implementation for hooks: mochajs.org/

Hi! I have the code working now but the before/before each didn't seem to work as expected. I realized I was making a mistake while parsing the JSON response.
Thanks a lot for helping.
