I have to retrieve the Github pull request, using the url:

https://api.github.com/repos/<user>/<repo>/pulls/<pr_number> and the repo

https://api.github.com/repos/<user>/<repo>

I tried to use Octokit.js -> https://github.com/octokit/core.js#readme as is suggested in the Github documentation. I am using the next code:

pm.sendRequest("https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/rest.js/15.2.6/octokit-rest.js", (err, res) => {

    pm.collectionVariables.set("octokit", res.text());
    eval(pm.collectionVariables.get("octokit"));
    // eval will evaluate the JavaScript code and intialize the min.js
})

But it seems like it is not the correct way to use the octokit library in Postman. I got the next error:

There was an error in evaluating the Pre-request Script:Error: window is not defined

I followed the next approach to import external libraries in Postman, using a Pull a library from CDN approach

am I missing something?

Does this answer your question? [Using math.js in Postman](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64651464/using-math-js-in-postman) – Christian Baumann Jun 28 '22 at 07:22
My error is that I am getting a window is not defined error message, maybe is the CDN version I am using I guess, I used the same approach that you pasted – rasilvap Jun 28 '22 at 14:04
The error happens in the eval method – rasilvap Jun 28 '22 at 14:46
