# Read environment variables

The current environment variables can be accessed via `process.env`.

```ts index.ts icon="https://mintcdn.com/bun-1dd33a4e-farm-36efef94-ws-topic-surrogate-aliasing/ik3tuo5aPNhO2m-F/icons/typescript.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=ik3tuo5aPNhO2m-F&q=85&s=b4d66550ab7c11348a1c4076968b4586" theme={null}
process.env.API_TOKEN; // => "secret"
```

***

Bun also exposes these variables via `Bun.env`, which is an alias of `process.env`.

```ts index.ts icon="https://mintcdn.com/bun-1dd33a4e-farm-36efef94-ws-topic-surrogate-aliasing/ik3tuo5aPNhO2m-F/icons/typescript.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=ik3tuo5aPNhO2m-F&q=85&s=b4d66550ab7c11348a1c4076968b4586" theme={null}
Bun.env.API_TOKEN; // => "secret"
```

***

To print all currently-set environment variables to the command line, run `bun --print process.env`. This is useful for debugging.

```sh terminal icon="terminal" theme={null}
bun --print process.env
```

```txt theme={null}
BAZ=stuff
FOOBAR=aaaaaa
<lots more lines>
```
