# Request Variables
Request variables are variables that are scoped to a specific request. They are useful for storing variables that is used in a specific request.
## Creating a Request Variable
* Go to the Request
* Go to Vars Tab
* Add your variable name, value, and an optional description for what the variable represents in the Pre Request Vars section
* Save your changes
## Using a Request Variable
You can use the `{{varName}}` syntax to use a request variable in a request.
#### Access Request Variable inside scripts
You can also use the `bru.getRequestVar()` function to get the value of a request variable and use it inside your scripts.
```javascript theme={null}
let source = bru.getRequestVar("source");
let destination = bru.getRequestVar("destination");
```
