postman environment variable in header code example
Example 1: how to define variables in api
-Use pm.globals to define a global variable:
pm.globals.set("variable_key", "variable_value");
-Use pm.collectionVariables to
define a collection variable:
pm.collectionVariables.set("variable_key", "variable_value");
-Use pm.environment to define an environment
variable (in the currently selected environment):
pm.environment.set("variable_key", "variable_value");
-You can use unset to remove a variable:
pm.environment.unset("variable_key");
-Defining local variables
Local variables are temporary values you set
in your request scripts using the following syntax:
pm.variables.set("variable_key", "variable_value");
Example 2: collection variable api
Only accessible within the same collection and
can not be accessed anywhere else
COLLECTION variables are available throughout
the requests in a collection and are independent
of environments, so do not change based on the selected environment.
I use collection variables when
I use single environment like url details.
We can refer to the variable by using {{}}(double curly brace)
and it can be used anywhere
