Is there a way to get the computer name using any predefined variables or any other mechanism in the postman.

My API needs a request header which has the machine name Request header.

Hi abhina,

I am assuming you want to set that variable from the Pre-requests Scripts tab. Unfortunately,
system variables (i.e. computer name) are not visible to Postman scripts by default for security reasons.

If you are using this Newman I would suggest reading up on a work around here > https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/3180
