Since it becomes a lot of manual work updating these values overtime (especially token). How do you guys manage this? Unfortunately, Postman can't access to your local files and results on your local terminal. On my end, we have created some private endpoints that we call at the beginning of the day, we get the tokens and store them in env vars into postman. Our other endpoints work with the new tokens based on the env vars.

I usually store them in environment variables in postman Hey Jason, Within the Environment, you can store the API keys/secret in the Current Value as it is never synced to your account or shared with the team.
