What are the different types of variables in Postman?

What are the different types of variables in Postman?

In Postman, there are three main types of variables: Global, Collection, and Environment variables. Global variables are accessible across all collections, while Collection variables are specific to a particular collection. Environment variables are used to store values that can change based on the environment you're working in.

Can you give me an example of when to use each type?

Sure! Use Global variables for values that are constant across all environments, like API keys. Collection variables are great for values that are specific to a collection, like a base URL. Environment variables are useful for values that change, like different API endpoints for development and production.

How do I create a new variable in Postman?

To create a new variable in Postman, go to the 'Manage Environments' section, select the environment you want, and add a new variable by entering its name and value.

Can I use variables in request URLs?
