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.
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".
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.
