# set environment variable

`POST /w/{workspace}/workspaces/set_environment_variable`

## Path parameters

- `workspace` string, required

## Request body

- object
  - `name` string, required — Environment variable name. New names must be a plain JS identifier (matching ^[A-Za-z_$][A-Za-z0-9_$]*$) since the name is spliced into the NativeTS/Bun worker prologue; otherwise the request is rejected with 400. Existing names can still be updated regardless of shape.
  - `value` string

## Response `200`
