Collections keep your requests organized. Environments let you reuse values such as a base URL across every request and switch between them in one click.

​
Collections

Save any request into a collection to keep it around. Collections support:
  • Folders to group related requests
  • Search to find a request quickly
  • Codebase structure when a collection is built by route discovery, so its folders mirror your project

​
Environments

An environment is a set of named values you reference with {{variable}} syntax. Define a value once and use it across every request.
Switch environments with one click and every {{variable}} resolves to the new set of values. This makes it easy to move a request between local, staging and production without editing it.
1

Define values

Create an environment and add named values such as baseUrl and token.
2

Reference them

Use {{baseUrl}} and {{token}} in your request URL, headers, params or body.
3

Switch

Change the active environment and every request picks up the new values.
Imported collections bring their environments across too, so {{baseUrl}} in an imported request resolves right away. See Importing.
Store secrets such as tokens with the authentication options rather than plain environment values, so the secret half is kept in VS Code secure storage.
