    See the hooks section of the Writing tests page in the documentation.

    Use a before hook to fetch the bearer token and assign it to a variable in the top level scope of the test module.

    let bearer;

before(() => {
    cy.then(async () => {
        // ...
        bearer = ...;
    })
});

    You can use the Cypress.env variable to save and use the token globally –

    it('get api request', function () {
  cy.request({
    url: 'whatever url',
    method: 'POST',
    body: {
      userName: 'saurabh.sharma.com',
      password: 'Indigo@123',
    },
  })
    .its('body')
    .then((body) => {
      expect(body.status).to.eq('success')
      Cypress.env('Bearer_token', body.data.token)
    })
  cy.log(Cypress.env('Bearer_token'))

  cy.request({
    url: 'whatever url',
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
      authorization: 'Bearer ' + Cypress.env('Bearer_token'),
      'client-id': '00',
    },
  }).then((res) => {
    expect(res.status).to.eq(200)
    var count = res.body.data.totalCount
    cy.wrap(count).as('count')
  })
  cy.log(this.count)
})

    The alias method is correct, but don’t use it in conjunction with cy.log() as that command does not return the value logged.

    ...
}).its('body').then((body) => {
  expect(body.status).to.eq('success')
  cy.wrap(body.data.token).as('Bearer_token')
  cy.log(this.Bearer_token)
})
cy.log(this.Bearer_token)

    To use the alias in further tests, use the same function() format

    it("get api request", function(){
  ...
  cy.wrap(A_token).as('Bearer_token')    
  cy.log(this.Bearer_token)
  ...
})

it("uses api result", function(){
  ...
  cy.log(this.Bearer_token)              
  ...
})
