Use variables in requests

A variable is a fixed value that you save in your Data Fetcher workspace. You can use variables in your requests, e.g. in a request URL or header.

For example, you might save an API key as a variable and use it in multiple request headers. If the API key changes, you'll only need to update the variable in one place.

Create a variable

• Hover over the extension, then click to open the settings screen.

• Under Workspaces, click "Manage" next to the workspace you want to create the variable in.

• Under Variables, click "+ Add".

• Enter the variable name and value.

• Click "Save".

Use variables in requests

• Click the "+" button on the right-hand side of the input. Any input with a "+" button can use variables.

• On the modal, click "Variable" to switch to the variables tab.

• Select the variable you want to use.

• The input will now have a reference to the variable, which looks like: -*-currency-*-. When the request runs, this reference will be replaced by the variable's value.
