Postman Environments

Postman environments are a powerful feature that allow you to manage different sets of variables for your API testing and development workflow. An environment is essentially a named collection of key-value pairs (variables) that you can switch between depending on your context—such as development, staging, or production. For example, you might have different base URLs, authentication tokens, or API keys for each environment. Instead of manually updating these values in every request when you switch from testing locally to hitting a production server, you can simply select a different environment from a dropdown menu, and all your requests will automatically use the appropriate variables. This makes it much easier to maintain consistency, avoid errors, and streamline your workflow when working across multiple environments or sharing collections with team members.
