.http environment variables example

environment-variables.http

### Values come from the active git-ignored .env file
GET {{baseUrl}}/account
Accept: application/json
Authorization: Bearer {{apiToken}}

### The same environment values can be reused in another request
GET {{baseUrl}}/projects
Accept: application/json
Authorization: Bearer {{apiToken}}

Variables to replace

baseUrl: Define this in the active .env file, for example baseUrl=https://api.example.com.
apiToken: Define the real token in the same git-ignored .env file.

Expected response

With a registered and active environment, both variables resolve before send and the API returns the normal authenticated response. An unresolved value indicates that the environment is missing or inactive.
