POSTMAN: paste value at the end of long URL for GET - postman

Question

Using the standalone Postman app on MacOS, I have a few GET commands with very long URLs. At the end of a standardized URL, I repeatedly have to paste a value to properly customize the target of the GET command.
I'm thinking there has to be a better way than highlighting the text window, hitting the END button on my keyboard and pasting.
My experiments with entering numbers into the key/value section of PARAMs have been futile.
Anyone?
ex. I'd want to paste a numerical value from the clipboard just after the "/ in orthis/".

Answer 1

I think you mean Environment Variables
DropDown upper right -> Manage Environments -> Edit Evironment
Type in the key input: myVariable
Type in the value input: 12345678
Click Update
Go back to the GET and try:
https://thissuperlongurlneverchanges.com/neitherdoesthis/orthis/{{myVariable}}
NOTE: If you check the link, you can see that there are some cool options like random integers and stuff like that in the Global Variables section

Answer 2

I suspect what you are looking for is URL parameters. Change your URL to:
https://thissuperlongurlneverchanges.com/neitherdoesthis/orthis/:my_param
Then click on "Params" next to the URL. A display similar to the headers display should open up, where you should see one key called "my_param". For the value of this key you can provide anything, like your example "12345678", including an environment variable.
If you actually want query parameters, in this same Params display enter a new key-value. For example, enter "another_param" for the key, and "87654321" for the value. Your URL should now look like:
https://thissuperlongurlneverchanges.com/neitherdoesthis/orthis/:my_param?another_param=87654321
If you click on the link "Generate Code", you can see the complete resolved request:
GET /neitherdoesthis/orthis/12345678?another_param=87654321 HTTP/1.1
