Add API requests to Postman Collections

After you create a Postman Collection, you can use it to save and organize API requests. Use any of the methods below to add requests to a collection. You can add HTTP requests to a collection, or you can add requests that use other protocols to a multi-protocol collection.

Add a request to an empty collection

You can add a request to a new collection by doing the following:

• Hover over the collection in the sidebar and click Add request.

• Expand the new collection and click Add Request.

• Hover over the collection in the sidebar, click View more actions, then select Add request.

  

Save a new request to a collection

1. Open a new request and click Save.
2. Enter a name for the request.
3. Select the collection you want to save the request to. Or click New Collection to create a new collection.
4. Click Save.

Create a new request inside a collection

To save a new request directly to a collection, you can do the following:

• In the sidebar, click View more actions next to a collection and select Add request.
• Hover over the collection and click Add request.

Save a request from your history to a collection

1. Click History in the sidebar.
2. Hover over the request and click Save Request.
3. Select the collection you want to save the request to. To create a new collection to save the request to, click New Collection.
4. Click Save.

Move an existing request to a different collection

1. In the sidebar, select the request you want to move. You can hold ⌘ or Ctrl to select multiple requests.
2. Drag the request into another collection.

About multi-protocol collections

You can add non-HTTP requests to a collection, which then becomes a multi-protocol collection.

To create a multi-protocol collection, do the following:

1. Click Add in the sidebar.
2. Choose the protocol you want to start a multi-protocol collection with.
3. Click Save, then add it to a new collection or save it to an existing multi-protocol collection.
