How can I place the postman export request?

Asked by Ankur Dwivedi Feb 23, 2022 658 views 1 answer

About this question

Postman can export whole collections, and also single requests.

I'd like to export just one request, so I can send it as an example to somebody else who can import it in their Postman via (possible Raw Text?)

Normally, I'd use cURL format which is supported even for imports within Postman. But there's also issue #7895 that seems to block this option or to be more precise, it won't import request body, which is exactly what I need at the moment.

When I go into a request in Postman => code, there are many options, but it seems that the only option also suitable for imports is cURL. Postman can't import requests written in a programming/scripting language, so all other options here are out of the question (yes, I've tried HTTP, but that's not a supported format for imports either).

Having said that, is there a way I can import a single request with body data in Postman?

My Postman version is 7.16.0 (x64) for Windows OS.

There is no direct option for placing the postman export request. You can create and export collections. Here is a link to help with that. https://learning.postman.com/docs/getting-started/importing-and-exporting-data/#exporting-collections Regarding the single request thing, you can try a workaround. I tried with the RAW body parameters and it worked.

What you can do is,

In your request tab, click on the 3 dots in the top right corner of your request panel/box.enter image description here
Select Code. This will open Generate Code Snippets window.enter image description here
Copy the cURL code and save it in a text file. Share this with who you want to.enter image description here
They can then import the request from the text file.enter image description here
