Say you want to create a request with the postman-api using the url {{base_url}}/myEndpoint which either points to production or staging depending on your environment.
Can’t you escape the curly braces so that the created request points to {{base_url}} instead of pointing to the substituted value?
I found some 2 years old topics on this where they landed on this being impossible—asking again, just in case this has been made possible since.
Not sure I understand your question…
Why would you want the request to point to {{base_url}} and a plain text value?
staging: {{base_url}} = https://my-staging-server.com
prod: {{base_url}} = https://my-production-server.com
I want the request created by the postman-api PUT in the attached screenshot to create a request in the Auto-collection, where you can switch between staging and prod in the created Request.
If I send the payload in the attached screenshot however, the created request will point to the substituted value of {{base_url}}, and switching environments won’t affect the URL the created request points to.
Did that make sense?
