How to export specific request to file using postman?

I want to export one specific request from a Postman extension (chromium) and send it to another developer so that they can import it. How I can do this?

Solution 1:

To do that you need to leverage the "Collections" feature of Postman. This link could help you: https://learning.getpostman.com/docs/postman/collections/creating_collections/

Here is the way to do it:

• Create a collection (within tab "Collections")
• Execute your request
• Add the request to a collection
• Share your collection as a file

Solution 2:

1. Click on the "Code" button upright of the request page.
2. From the opened window select cURL.
3. Copy and share the generated code.

You can use this curl request to import it into Postman.

This discards variables, pre-request scripts, tests... or anything Postman-specific the request has.

Solution 3:

If you want to export it as a file just do Any Collection (...) -> Export. There you should be able to choose collection version format and it will be exported in JSN file.

Solution 4:

Thanks to the previous answers you knew how to save/download a request.

For people who are asking for a way to save/export the response you can use the arrow beside the "Send" button, click "Send and Download" to get the response in .json

Solution 5:

There is no direct option to export a single request from Postman.

You can create and export collections. Here is a link to help with that.

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,

1. In your request tab, click on the 3 dots in the top right corner of your request panel/box.

2. Select Code. This will open Generate Code Snippents window.

3. Copy the cURL code and save it in a text file. Share this with who you want to.

4. They can then import the request from the text file.
