Environments as Reusable Presets Define environment & variable Use the environment variable Environments as Reusable Presets¶ Environments Environments as Reusable Presets Discover environments Use values from previous responses Auth dynamic values We often need to set the same Authorization scheme, Content-Type or parameter in many requests. Environments are much powerful than this, but in this case they can be helpful to just let you set a value that you know you can modify once somewhere for every request you’ve set them with. The steps below guide you through the example of setting an Authorization header in multiple requests using the environments: Define environment & variableDefine environment & variable¶ Open the Environment panel: Create a new Environment and Variable: Create a variable and enter the value you want (it can be an auth dynamic value, a value from a previous response, or anything…). Create a new Environment Group and a new Environment Variable Type the string you want or right-click to pick a dynamic value You now have an environment variable set up You can now close the panel, and go back to your request. Use the environment variableUse the environment variable¶ In any field (in this example, the header Authorization), start typing the name of your variable (here: “{Authorization}”). Paw will suggest your new environment variable: You can now simply copy/paste this variable in other requests. If you later need to change the Authorization scheme, you can go back to the Environments panel, and switch the Authorization for all your requests.
