Request Variables

Request variables are variables that are scoped to a specific request. They are useful for storing variables that is used in a specific request.

Note: With the release of v1.28.0, we’ve shifted to treating all Request Variables as strings instead of inferring the data type from the value. See discussion (opens in a new tab) for more information.

Creating a Request Variable

• Go to the Request
• Go to Vars Tab
• Add your variable name, value in the Pre Request Vars section
• Save your changes

Using a Request Variable

You can use the {{varName}} syntax to use a request variable in a request.

Access Request Variable inside scripts

You can also use the bru.getRequestVar() function to get the value of a request variable and use it inside your scripts.

let source = bru.getRequestVar("source");
let destination = bru.getRequestVar("destination");
