Export and Import

Collections and environments can be exported to or imported from files, that can be saved and shared with other people.

Pororoca offers full export and import compatibility with Postman.

Export

To export a collection or an environment, click on them in the left panel, then click on the Export collection… or Export environment…, respectively.

If the include secrets options are unmarked, the values of secret variables will be censored (replaced by an empty text, "").

After choosing the format and options, click on Export, at the top right corner.

TIP

With the Pororoca format, environments can be included in the collection file - there is no need to export each environment individually.

Import

Collection

To import a Pororoca or Postman collection, go to the top menu, select File, then Import collection… option. A select file dialog will open.

The accepted file formats are:

• Pororoca collection
• Postman collection v2.1
• Insomnia collection
• OpenAPI / Swagger (.json, .yml and .yaml)

INFO

Postman requests that have file parameters use a different file path scheme than Pororoca. After importing, make sure the file paths are correct, for example, in requests bodies.

Environment

To import an environment, expand your collection on the left panel and right-click on the Environments item. Then, Import environment… option. A select file dialog will open.

The accepted file formats are:
