How to Use Collection Variables in Postman for NetSuite API Testing

Postman collection variables streamline API testing by centralizing values like base URLs, tokens, or record IDs.

How to set them up:

1. Click your collection > Go to the “Variables” tab.
2. Add variables (e.g., base_url, auth_token).
3. Use them in requests:

http

Copy

Edit
GET {{base_url}}/record/v1/customer/{{customer_id}}

1. Update values once, apply across all requests.

Tip: Collection variables reduce hardcoding and support easier environment switching (e.g., SB vs. Production).
