Creating a Collection

A collection in Bruno is a structured group of API requests, tests, and related resources that helps you organize and manage your API testing workflow.

If you have an existing collection inside of another tool that you would like to import, please see Importing Collections ↗.

Custom Collection Names

Starting with Bruno v1.40.0 ↗, you can now use special characters in collection names and customize how they appear in the filesystem.

You can use any characters in your collection names, including special characters like /, [, ], *, etc. Bruno automatically handles filesystem compatibility by replacing unsupported characters with - in the filenames while preserving your original collection name.

Add a request ↗ to your collection as a next step!
