Where are Postman collections saved?

Solution 1:

It looks like Postman uses LevelDB. On Windows, I found my Postman DB located at:

C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Postman\IndexedDB\

According to Piere F, macOS users can find it under:

~/Library/Application Support/Postman/IndexedDB

ps: Note "~" is path for "/Users/userAccount/"

According to David, Ubuntu users can find it under:

~/.config/Postman/IndexedDB

Solution 2:

Postman is using Chromium offline storage capabilities because at the end it's a SPA running inside Chromium (Electron technology).

From Postman's top menubar:

  • Select View → Show Dev Tools
  • Select the Application tab
  • In the sidebar, open Storage → IndexedDB → postman - file:// → collection_requests

Solution 3:

On Mac: The json files were automatically backed up (/Users//Library/Application Support/Postman/backup-YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.SSSZ.json) but it is not documented anywhere. You just have to reimport them

Solution 4:

Alternatively, if you just want to look at the collection, you can export it into json format from the collection menu.
