Data import and export in Postman

View as Markdown

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.

  • Use Import data into Postman for the complete import workflow, including Postman-native files, API specifications, Swagger APIs, cURL commands, and Git repositories.

  • Use Migrate from other API clients when you’re moving from SoapUI, Hoppscotch, Insomnia, or Thunder Client with the Migrate to Postman wizard.

  • Use Export data from Postman to export collections and environments as JSON files, or to create a bulk data export with collections, environments, globals, and header presets.

  • If you need specification-first guidance, go to Import a specification.

  • If you want to automate export and import workflows in CI/CD pipelines, see Postman CLI.

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