The above response i have got from Postman, which consist of 4 set-cookie, where as the below one, from PAD for the same API, i have received only 1 set-cookie.

As this is the authentication API, i need those cookies to go forward with other API calls

From my understanding, Postman operates differently and returns distinct parameters, whereas Power Automate Desktop's invoke web service action yields different parameters; therefore, we shouldn't compare the outcomes from PAD with those from Postman.

However, ensure that you actually require the cookies values returned from an API for subsequent API calls, or if a token from the authentication method suffices.

Thanks,

Deenu

Thanks for your reply, Deenu.

Nope, all the 4 cookies are required for the next API call.

How can i access those cookies? I tried various scripting methods as well, but no results.
