Import Postman Collections into Requestly: Migration Guide

If you are moving away from Postman, you should not have to rebuild your entire API workflow. Most teams already have collections, environments, and variables in Postman that represent hours of setup and testing.

The good news is that you can migrate your Postman collections and environment files directly into Requestly. Requestly’s API Client supports importing these files so your existing API requests, variables, and configurations remain intact.

This guide explains how to export your data from Postman and import it into Requestly step by step, making the transition quick and smooth.

Export all the workspace data from Postman

Step 1: Click your profile icon in the top-right corner of Postman and select Settings.

Step 2: Navigate to the Account tab and click Export Data. It will redirect you to Export data page. Click on Export data button.

Step 3: Select the data to export (collections, environments, or both) and click Request Data Export.

Step 4: Check your registered email for exported data, download the ZIP file and extract its contents.

Note: Global variables are not automatically exported using this method.
To use them in Requestly, you need to manually export global variables from Postman and import it into Requestly.
