Excellent overview of Postman variable types and scopes. Truly appreciate the relevant examples used. This is perfect to help educate my users on the right way to manage secrets. Thanks!

Thank you for a clear explanation. I've expanded my instruments now with "values".

In the how to hide sensitive data section, by replacing Initial value with Enter API Key Here, should you instead say Add API Key in Current Value?
@postman 2 жыл бұрын
If used in "Current Value" then the collection would be pulling that text instead of the API Key and therefore the authentication would fail. Replacing the initial value with "add your api key as the current value" would be a good alternative here.

Is there a way to view the variables used in the API call in the summary screen without having to drill into the call ie show it on the POST line.

Hey Alex, if you hover over the variable you'll see what it's resolving to.

difference between int variable and string variable ? how can we declare those ? any difference "{{name}}" and for int as {{idnum}}
@postman Жыл бұрын
Postman stores variables as strings. If you want to use an integer variable in a script, you can cast `idnum` to an integer data type, such as `parseInt(idnum)`.

your example didn't work at 7:25 because it wasn't an integer. How to set to set the variable as an integer?
@postman Жыл бұрын
You can either save the value as an integer instead of string. Or you can cast the value to an integer by using the JavaScript method `parseInt()`.
