Data import and export in Postman

Postman can import and export Postman data, including collections, environments, globals, and data dumps. Postman can also import non-Postman data, such as API definitions and data from other API clients, to help you unify your API development workflow.

• You can import data into Postman by dragging and dropping files, or by pasting raw text or a URL. Postman automatically recognizes Postman data such as collections, environments, and data dumps. You can also import API definitions into Postman.

• You can import data from other API clients so you can work with it in Postman. You can migrate data from SoapUI, Hoppscotch, Insomnia, and Thunder Client.

• You can import data from a Git repository so you can work with it in Postman. You can import collections, environments, and API definitions from local or remote GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps repositories.

• If you use New Relic to monitor your applications, you can import endpoints from New Relic services into a Postman Collection (Postman Free plans only).

• You can import a cURL command as a new Postman request or convert a Postman request to a cURL command. You can also import Swagger APIs or import OpenAPI definitions.

• You can export collections and environments from Postman as JSON files. Team Admins and Super Admins or users not on a team can also bulk export data with all of your Postman collections, environments, globals, and header presets. After exporting, you can import the files into any Postman instance or use them with Newman.

You can use the Postman VS Code extension to import collections and environments into Postman, and import cURL commands as new requests.
