  title: Postman Environments API
  description: |
    The Postman Environments API enables you to manage your Postman environments
    programmatically. Environments store variable key-value pairs that can be used
    across requests and collections, enabling you to scope your work to different
    contexts such as development, staging, and production.

    ## Authentication
    All requests require an API key passed in the `x-api-key` header.

    ## Rate Limits
    The Postman API has rate limits that vary by plan.
