Hi @nickchow0112, How did you open insomnia? The insomnia instance needs to be opened from the same terminal in which you exported the token, for example:

STAGING_API_TOKEN=3fc345d2-9dd8-48e8-a178-3c91c867cc41 /Applications/Insomnia.app/Contents/MacOS/Insomnia

I also updated the example in the readme.

Hi @etauker, I actually tried example 1 instead of 2. But it wasn't able to pick up the environment variables.I just tried your second method and it works! thanks!
