Environments & Variables

Manage variables per collection with environment-based overrides.

Opening Environments

• Click Environments (globe icon) in the left sidebar
• Or use the environment selector dropdown in a request tab

Creating an Environment

1. Open the Environments tab
2. Click New Environment
3. Give it a name (e.g., "Development", "Staging", "Production")
4. Add variables to the table

Each collection has its own set of environments.

Variable Types

Type	Description
Text	Plain string value
Secret	Masked value (shown as ••••••••)
Number	Numeric value
Boolean	True or false
JSON	Structured JSON data

Variable Fields

Field	Description

Initial Value	Default/template value (persists across sessions)
Current Value	Runtime value (can be modified by scripts, resets on restart)

Using Variables

Reference variables anywhere in your requests with double curly braces:

• URL: https://{{base_url}}/api/users
• Headers: Authorization: Bearer {{token}}
• Body: { "api_key": "{{api_key}}" }

Variables resolve in this order (highest priority first):

1. Request-level variables
2. Environment variables
3. Collection variables
4. Global variables
