Request collections
Last updated: 9/9/2026Postman
You can import Postman collections (V2.0) into Talend Cloud API Tester so that users of Postman can try Talend Cloud API Tester with the data they are familiar with.
| Postman item | Corresponding Talend Cloud API Tester item | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| root folder | root project | Single project, named after the root folder in the collection. A suffix is added in order to prevent name conflicts. |
| sub folders | services | As POSTman supports infinite folder depth, unlike Talend Cloud API Tester, subfolders are flattened. |
| requests | requests | Environment variables are imported too (the environment holds the name of the project), but they are valuated. When possible, some assertions are generated too after parsing the Postman scripts. |
HAR 1.2
HAR is a JSON-based format able to describe HTTP requests and responses. Major Web browsers can export all interactions in this format. Requests are imported into a root scenario, whose name is the date of the import in ISO 8601 format. The main reason to use a scenario, and not a project as the other kind of import, is that a HAR log is an ordered sequence of HTTP requests and responses, as in Talend Cloud API Tester.
Talend Cloud API Tester repository
You can export your own local repository into a JSON-based format file. Then import it into Talend Cloud API Tester again. The imported entities are exactly the same as the ones exported.
When importing a Talend Cloud API Tester repository, any projects with the same name as projects in your repository will be overwritten.
