# Send your first Data Request

## Submitting a Data Request

`@seda-protocol/dev-tools` exposes functions that make it easy to create scripts that submit Data Requests to the SEDA network and await the result. The `scripts` directory shows an example.

Submitting a Data Request to the SEDA network, run:

```
bun run post-dr
```

This will post a transaction and wait till there is an result.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Important**

Make sure you have the all environment variables set in `.env` file.
{% endhint %}

Example of an `.env` file:

```
# RPC for the SEDA network you want to interact with
SEDA_RPC_ENDPOINT=https://rpc.devnet.seda.xyz

# Your SEDA chain mnemonic, fill this in to upload binaries or interact with data requests directly
SEDA_MNEMONIC=

# Used for posting data request on the seda chain and configuring the consumer contract
# You can get this by running `bunx seda-sdk oracle-program upload PATH_TO_BUILD`
ORACLE_PROGRAM_ID=
```
