Server Variable Payload Structure

Whether you are polling the global array via GET /variables or structurally defining an explicit parameter via POST /variables, understanding the exact JSON schema dictating the architecture is critical for successful programmatic integrations.

The Model Schema

The standard structured Variable object inherently defines:

Property Breakdown

  • id (string, readOnly): The explicit 11-char database hash uniquely determining this specific row object log. Required if you need to execute an HTTP PATCH or DELETE request against the credential later.
  • createdAt (string, date-time, readOnly): System-stamped ISO 8601 initialization metric natively mapping its inception.
  • updatedAt (string, date-time, readOnly): System-stamped metric tracking modifications.
  • type (string): Indicates execution handling logic (e.g., 0: INVALID, 1: ENV, 2: SECRET).
  • value (string): The explicit unformatted text value natively mapped. If the type is SECRET, standard retrieval routes actively mask the value dynamically with ***.
  • name (string): The human-readable string key dictating exactly how downstream integrations request the variable properly during capability generation.
