New: The State of API Reliability Report 2025 has landed.

Postman API monitors now auto-retrieve and display collection variables

When you import a Postman collection that uses variables like {{VariableName}} in requests, scripts, or environments, the Postman API monitor now automatically detects and displays these variables as pre-defined monitor variables. You can easily populate their values either through plain text or using the Vault. This is helpful when authenticating with APIs that require a username, password, or secret key.

This behavior also works similarly to Multi-step API variables.
