Environments

What Are Environments?

Environments let you define sets of variables that change depending on context. For example, you might have:

This way, the same request URL https://{{baseUrl}}/v1/users points to a different server depending on which environment is active.

Switching Environments

Click the environment badge in the top-left of the sidebar (it shows the current environment name with a coloured dot). A dropdown appears — select the environment you want to use. All requests will now use that environment's variables.

Managing Variables

Click Manage Environments in the sidebar or the environment dropdown. The environment manager opens as a modal with two columns:

• Left side — list of environments with colour dots and variable counts
• Right side — variable table where you can add, edit, and delete key-value pairs

You can also create new environments with a custom name and colour, or delete ones you no longer need. Click Save Changes to persist.

Secret Variables

Toggle the Secret switch on any variable to mask its value in the UI. It will appear as a password field with a purple lock icon. The value is still used normally when sending requests — it just stays hidden so people looking at your screen can't see it.

Using Variables

Wrap any variable name in double curly braces to use it:

URL:    https://{{baseUrl}}/v1/users
Header: Authorization: Bearer {{token}}

With "Production" active:
→ https://api.example.com/v1/users
→ Authorization: Bearer sk_live_abc123

Variables work in the URL bar, header values, and auth token fields.
