    I just re-read your question. You are looking to get a result and then use that in another http step right?
    We call that dependent collections. It is documented here. It should still apply to Low-code Tools v102. However, if you still want to use store_data there is an example here.

The simplest method to access it in a custom step is to include it in the step parameters when you define the function. This is the same way you request the previous step's results. In the example below, we pull back the metadata value with the key storage_key and return it from the step. It's just meant to show a really simple example of use. All of the other standard parameters work (result, step_args, etc).

@register_processor
def get_stored_data(metadata):
    return metadata['storage_key']
