Environments

What is an environment?

An Environment is a context created in RapidAPI to simplify running the same test on different deployments. An example use case for creating environments is to run the same test on a development, staging, and production deployment.

Within an environment, you can create environment variables and environment secrets. Unlike test variables, environment variables are not scoped to a specific test but are available for all the tests in an API Project.

Create an environment

To create a new environment for your test, go to the Testing Settings tab in your API Project. Click the "+" icon to create a new environment and give it a name.

Running your tests with an environment

When running your test, you can select which environment to run it in using the selector in the left navigation. Select the desired environment before running the test.
