 # Next Config Client
 
 ## Setup
-Create the following enviroment variables
-* Set CONFIG_REQUEST_URL to the url of your config server, ws://example.com/api/vx/config/
-* Set CONFIG_REQUEST_INTERVAL in milliseconds
-
 Initiate config fetching. `environment` is one of "dev", "stage" or "prod"
 ```
 var refreshConfig = require("next-config-client");
-refreshConfig(enviroment);
+refreshConfig({
+  requestUrl: "ws://example.com/api/vx/config/",
+  environment: "dev"
+});
 ```
