Migrating from Postman

Bruno makes migrating from Postman easy. All you need to do is export your collections and environments and import them to Bruno.

Collection Export

Open Postman and select the collection you want to migrate. Click on the ··· followed by View more actions to open the dropdown menu and scroll down until you find Export, then click on it.

A popup dialog will appear, select either Collection v2 or Collection v2.1 format and click on the Export button.

The collection will be downloaded as a JSON file.

Now simply follow the instructions for Importing Collections and you’re done!

Export Data Dump

Premium

You can export a data dump of all your collections and environments in Postman. You can then import the data into any Bruno.

To export a data dump, do the following in Postman:

• Select the settings icon in the header, then select Settings.

• Select the Data tab, then select Request Data Export.

• Select Export Data, then select the data types you want to export. You can export collections, environments, or both.

• Select Request Data Export.

To import your Data Dump to Bruno:

• Open the import menu and select Postman Data Export

• Select the zip file where the export was saved

• You will now see a list of all collections available for import. By default, all collections will be selected. You can chose to omit any from the import that you’d like.

• Designate a location for the collections and press import

Although we have a translator for Postman scripts, it’s always good practice to review the collections after import, especially if you are using deprecated Postman syntax in your scripts.

Environment Export

Open Postman and select the environment you want to migrate. Click on the ··· to open the dropdown menu, followed by Export and eventually choose a location to save the environment file.

Now open Bruno and open a collection by clicking on any request. A button in the upper right corner will appear, click on it and select Configure.

A dialog will appear, displaying your previously exported environment file. Select the Import button in the bottom left corner to proceed. Select Postman Environment, provide the environment file and that’s it!
