How to Import Collections in Postman

Use this interactive demo to learn how to bring your API collections into Postman in minutes.

Quick summary

Importing collections in Postman lets you quickly load saved API requests, folders, or external sources into your workspace. You can import files, folders, cURL commands, raw text, or URLs in just a few clicks.


Steps

  1. In Postman's main workspace, go to the left-side panel and click Collections.
  2. Tap the Import button to open the import dialog.
  3. Select the Upload tab and choose the file or folder you want to import — or enter a cURL, raw text, or URL into the Request Bar to add collections from external sources.
  4. Once complete, your Postman collection will be imported instantly and available in your workspace.

📌 Why this matters

Importing collections in Postman is essential for developers and QA teams who need to quickly share, reuse, or migrate pre-built API request sets across workspaces. Rather than rebuilding requests from scratch, teams can import collections from files, URLs, or cURL commands, saving significant setup time. This feature accelerates API testing workflows and ensures consistency across development environments. Whether onboarding a new team member or integrating an external API, Postman's import functionality makes collaboration faster and more reliable.
