Hi,

I am working on something but it seems a little bit too difficult for me....

For the use of an API you first need to send a bearer token message, to receive a new one which is valid for only 24 hours.  
I know how to send the first one. When I receive the request, how can I catch the bearer token and use it as a variable (?) for the second request?

```auto
https://m.auroravision.net/token/v1/devices/token?auds=inv,ess

```

(bearer token)

response:

```auto
{"auds":"inv,ess","exp":"2021-10-18T08:48:50+00:00","token":"eyJ0e-etcetcetc"}

```

store response "token" into:

```auto
https://m.auroravision.net/ums/v1/users/"user.name"/token?auds=ess,inv

```

(send response to http request 1 "token" as bearer token in 2nd message)

The second call needs to be send approximetaly every 24 hours.

In the documentation you can find [details about using context](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/context) (to store variables for later use)

Is this really about creating a custom node? If not, could you please change the category to "General"? Thanks.
