# Environments

The *Environment* dropdown represents the API environment from which data requests can be made. The API is deployed to the **production** as well as **staging (test)** environment, which points to `https://staging.teamcaredental.com`.

When an environment (like "production") is selected, all the environment variables defined for that environment are automatically resolved to their corresponding values. For example, a variable like `{teamcare-vendors}` would be cast to production environment. i.e. `{{teamcare-vendors}}`

If **no environment** is selected, the request will display the raw variable names (e.g., `{teamcare-vendors}`) instead of resolved values. This is standard behavior in tools like Postman.
