At some moment in a developer’s or QA’s life, it is necessary to use Postman to test requests, monitor, and design APIs. In this case, in my first article in this community, I would like to share how to export a Postman collection in JSON format.

Let's go!

Exporting a collection
To export a collection, first, it is necessary to salve your test creating a collection, by clicking "Save".

After it is created, it will be available on the left side, along with the collection name and related files.

Click on the ellipsis (...) and locate the option 'Export'.

When you select the 'Export' option, the Postman will inform you about the exported file extension, which will be in JSON format. Choose the 'Collection v2.1' option and click on 'Export'.

In a moment, the file will be downloaded to your computer.

With it in hand, you can share it with members of your team, import collections, or even share it on GitHub.
